The theater finally closed its doors as a full-time cinema on August 15 , 1994 . This was mostly due to water damage to the basement caused by the construction of the Hollywood Subway Red Line and structural damage caused by the 1994 Northridge earthquake . To date , the balcony sections remain closed off due to structure safety issues . The theater has since been designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument
