Theater opened in the early 1970's as the Jack London Square Cinemas (no relation to the current Jack London Square theater a few blocks away) showing subrun double bills and occasional adult product.

In 1975, became a full time adult XXX theater, showing heterosexual fare on all three screens. In 1979, it experiemented by showing mainstream fare on one screen and adult on the other screens. Then the mainstream side reverted to gay porn. In the mid-1980's, it started showing subrun mainstream films again at bargain prices.

Today, it is now called Xanadu, and two of the theaters show adult videos and the third has been converted to peepshow booths.

The former Jack London Cinema/Xanadu is now known as Secrets Adult Super Store (the set-up seems to be much the same as it was as Xanadu.
