BLUEBIRD THEATER
3315-17 E. Colfax Ave., (City Park)

Originally built as the Thompson Theater, the blond-brick, Beaux-Arts Mediterranean Revival was designed by Harry W. J. Edbrooke. Renamed the Bluebird Theater in 1922 and promoted Depression-era patronage with "Bank Night" giveaways of cash and commodities. Became skinflick theater in 1974; restored as trendy cabaret in 1987.
