The Vogue Theater’s neon marquee has been restored and brought back to its 1940s glory. Join neighbors and fans of the Vogue on Wednesday, December 3rd as Mayor Daniel Lurie cuts the ribbon and lights the sign,. After the lighting ceremony, everyone’s invited to stay for a free screening of the 1936 classic San Francisco.
Here’s a little more information for those who want a deeper dive:
The Vogue Theater, established 1912, through a generous grant from the Robert Mailer Anderson/Nicola Miner Family Foundation, has had its marquee completely restored and all neon signage returned to its original state, and once again shines on Sacramento Street as a beacon of the neighborhood.
CinemaSFBay, the non-profit organization that operates the Vogue, is proud to bring the Vogue into a new era of beauty. Jim Rizzo and crew at Neon Works worked for 5 months to complete the restoration, replacing all transformers, many neon tubes, and reusing some of the original neon tubes, maintaining the tone and feel of the original color scheme.
