It warms my heart that there is still a place to catch a Silent Movie in Hollywood, especially since the Last Remaining Seats series, although still wonderful, is straying from its silent movie roots.
Built in 1942, The Silent Movie Theatre (611 N. Fairfax Avenue) was the only fully functioning silent movie theatre in the country for decades. It is now home to Cinefamily "an organization of movie lovers devoted to finding and presenting interesting and unusual programs of exceptional, distinctive, weird and wonderful films." Happy to report that Silent Movie Theatre is not a dusty relic, on the contrary, the interior's original, vintage 1940s art deco design has been fully restored complete with a brand new screen and sound system.
Silent movies are screened every Wednesday at 8:00pm and once a month on a floating, Sunday afternoon. Tickets are $12.00.
Metered parking is available on Fairfax and a small lot on the southwest corner of Fairfax High School campus.
