The marquee of the Huntington Hartford Theater, Vine Street in Hollywood, comes alive again in preparation for tonight's opening of "H.M.S. Pinafore." The theater, scrubbed and ready for opening night, seems to wait patiently for the crowds to come in... the house lights to go down. In the meantime, rehearsals keep the cast and director busy. The Huntington Hartford Theatre is located at 1615 N. Vine Street in Hollywood. Originally a Beaux-Arts building designed by Myron Hunt, the building was later altered in 1954 by Huntington Hartford, who streamlined its design. In 1964 the theatre was sold to James Doolittle who at the time also operated the Greek Theatre. Later it was acquired by UCLA and renamed the James A. Doolittle Theatre. The Ricardo Montalban Foundation bought the building in 1999. Reopened in 2004 as the Ricardo Montalban with a resident troupe featuring works for young people, frequently in Spanish.
