Regency Lido Theatre

The Lido Theatre was opened in 1938, and the first film it played was Bette Davis in "Jezebel". The reason for that was that Davis lived nearby in Corona Del Mar and traveled by the site daily.
The entire theatre has been restored, down to the tile work done in the 30's by an Italian family. The tile setting, called Catalina Tile, is only seen in one other site. The original family restored the tile. The Lido seats 622, of which 410 seats are downstairs and 212 are in the balcony, which are prime seats for all ages.
