Too bad it gone!
This blog at View link contains a late 1930’s line drawing (likely based on a photo) of the Daly City Theatre. As is noted in the blog, this illustration ran at the top of the theatre’s newspaper advertisements in the late 1930’s. The newspaper ads I’ve seen from the late 1920’s don’t have this image.
As a five year old I sat in my Grandparent’s front window and watched the crane swing a wrecking ball into the walls of the Daly City Theater. Many times my Grandfather and I walked across the street to watch the demolition up close. I love the photo that kenmc posted!
Wings for the Eagle with Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan was released in July of 1942.
Here is a 1942 photo:

A Robert-Morton theater organ size 2/6 was installed in the Daly City Theater in 1928.
I have seen a photo of the facade of this theatre, not long after it closed, with the marquee’s message inviting patrons to attend what was then the brand new Serra Theatre nearby. The Serra itself lasted until the early 1990s.
