        CELEBRATING THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WARNORS THEATRE

  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the Warnors 
Theatre of Fresno, CA on the occasion of its 90th anniversary. Since 
its creation on October 20, 1928, the Warnors Theatre has maintained 
its historic landmark graciously alive by providing continuous use of 
its facility for entertainment and live events for the local community 
to come together and enjoy.
  For nine decades, the Warnors Theatre has thrived in the heart of 
downtown Fresno and today it is recognized as a historic entertainment 
icon. The Spanish revival architectural style facility has served the 
greater Fresno area through many entertainment events. The Berlin 
Philharmonic, AC/DC, The Clash, R.E.M. and Miles Davis are merely a 
small number of legendary artists and entertainers who have performed 
at the Warnors Theatre.
  Since the amphitheater's founding, members have worked with the local 
community to ensure efforts towards its progression and continued 
success. Warnors Theatre presently strives to promote an enriched 
experience for the community.
  With the passing of its former owner Frank Caglia, the facility was 
generously donated and is now looked after by a non-profit 
organization. Today, Warnors Theatre is a non-profit organization that 
continues to have a historical value in the community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
Warnors Theatre 90th anniversary. I commend the service of all the 
members of this organization who have worked collectively to assure the 
historic landmark continue thriving in serving the community.
