When theaters started getting interesting.
The Strand Theatre in San Francisco, CA. It opened in 1917, and according to the photos I've seen, it had quite an extravagant marquee. The theatre was eventually neutered and became a dirty movie house in the 1990's before being raided and shut down by the city of San Francisco. It now stands in ruins, with the new Federal building looming behind and over.
