El Capitan Theatre Marque. When the theater opened in 1926 as "Hollywood's First Home of Spoken Drama," it featured a Spanish colonial exterior designed by Stiles O. Clements of the architectural firm of Morgan, Walls and Clements, and a lavish East Indian interior by theatre designer G. Albert Lansburgh. For a decade it presented live plays, with over 120 productions by 1936. By the late 1930s, the El Capitan felt the economic effects of the Depression, showcasing fewer and fewer productions.
