One of many on my "to re-shoot" list, the Fox Theatre in Centralia, WA opened in 1930 and recently was restored to it''s original look. When I visited this theater in 2010, the owner gave me a tour and told me that the colorful marquee is going to come down because of the impending restorations, and because the city of Centralia didn't appreciate the recent colorful paint job on the 50's or 60's style marquee. Sure enough, it came down in the summer of 2011. The new marquee went up in 2013.
The El Rey Theater, Chico, CA. Opened in 1905 as the Majestic Theater. In the 1930's it was called the National, and in the '40's it was called the American.
The axed marquee.
