FORMERLY IN VOGUE

In his enumeration of Warner Bros.’ initial mishandling of “Bonnie and Clyde,” Patrick Goldstein errs both in including the film’s local booking at the Vogue Theater and in describing the venue as “an action-movie theater on the wrong end of Hollywood Boulevard” (“Blasts From the Past,” Aug. 24).

Though today anything east of Highland is considered “the wrong end,” in 1967 the Vogue, a block east of the then-venerable Egyptian, was the Hollywood outlet for films that fell between the blockbusters booked into the Egyptian and Chinese and action/genre pictures that were the standard fare at the late lamented Hollywood, Pix and World.
