Silent Movie Theatre 611 N. Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles, CA. In 1942, the Silent Movie Theatre opened its doors to celebrate the bygone era of film by showing silent films as they were originally intended. It was owned for many years by Lawrence Austen (think the Phantasm guy), who sold and ripped the tickets himself. In January 1997, Austen was shot dead in the theatre lobby during a showing of the film Sunrise. A candy-counter girl was also left for dead, but she survived and was able to ID the killer. The plot was hatched by Austen’s projectionist boyfriend, who planned to inherit the building and its supposed hidden millions.
