The Columbia Theater, now dubbed the Columbia City Theater (which causes confusion with the Columbia City Cinema down the street), is a restaurant in the front and a cabaret in the old auditorium. In its final days it was a porn house. The name changed to Rainier Cinema toward the end. The 1930 photo on the website mentioned above was actually taken about 1949; the movies on the marquee came out that year.
