As we enjoy this year’s holiday blockbuster season, with titles like “Avatar” and “Sherlock Holmes”, here is a quick glimpse of some holiday cinema past.

Were you to be a theatre goer seventy five years ago, you might be heading to Grauman’s Chinese to catch Shirley Temple in “Bright Eyes”. Those seeking more mature entertainment might head over to Warner Brothers Downtown for “A Gigantic 3 Unit Show!”, featuring Fay Wray in “Mills of the Gods”, 6 vaudeville acts, and “Men of the Night”.

Fifty years ago, you might be hitting Pacific’s drive-in theatres for one of “4 great holiday shows”, all in “flaming color”, no less.
