This theater was razed in 1941 and replaced with an office building. Exterior view of the Criterion Theatre, located at 642 S. Grand Avenue in Los Angeles. A very large wreath hangs above the marquee which reads, "Greetings from Joan Crawford." The theater advertises Joan Crawford in "Paid", the most amazing role of her career.
