Alpine Theatre

In the 60's, art films such as Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits" played here. It was indeed located in Alpine Village.

It's still there. You kind of have to know where to look, though.

This should just be listed as "closed", because it's certainly still there - booth, screen, auditorium and all.

Open only on weekends in the late sixties, per the LA Times.

There was an Alpine Theater listed at 834 Alpine in the 1938 city directory. I know there's an Alpine Street in Chinatown, which may have been what the directory was referring to. I don't know if that area of Torrance was even developed in 1938.

Ken: 834 Alpine in Los Angeles is at the corner of Alpine and Figueroa, and the theatre there is listed at CT as the Kim Sing Theatre, 722 N. Figueroa.

The Kim Sing was known as the Alpine through 1945 at least.

I was in this building the other day. It was being used for bingo. The screen is still at one end of the auditorium.

Do we have a bingo function? Otherwise it's a community hall, more or less.

There is a function for a Bingo Hall. That should cover it.
