The Strand Theatre was a Fox house which was twinned in the late 70’s. It has since been demolished.

Sloppy reporting in the LA Times, 1/3/33:
BANDITS ROB PLAYHOUSES AT HARBOR
Within fifteen minutes last night two San Pedro motion picture theaters were held up by bandits, apparently operating independently of each other, who escaped with about $2500 in cash.
The first robbery was at the Fox Grand Theater at Tenth Street and Pacific Avenue. The men escaped wih $850. Fifteen minutes later police were called to the Warner Brothers Theater at Sixth Street and Pacific Avenue, where a bandit forced the manager of the theater into a large safe after taking $1800.

How do I contribute research to the top portion of the page? I am doing research on San Pedro movie theatres and have found some additional information.
The LAPL has posted a new photo of an Alhambra Theater which they claim is in San Pedro. I’m not adding this as they seem a little vague on the details.

The California Index has a card for a book that mentions the Alhambra Theatre in San Pedro. Card.
OK, Joe, I guess that’s a second opinion. I will add it to the San Pedro theaters. Thanks.

If you have any research to share that didn’t get posted, I would like to hear from you. I’m also starting to dig into San Pedro theatre history.
