I grew up in Riverside, 1952 to 1964 when I left for college. I went most often to the Fox and the Golden State but I did see several films at the DeAnza. I remember “The Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston most of all. Seeing the photographs of the DeAnza remind me of how dramatic a building it was. Does anyone else remember the DeAnza from the 50s?
The De Anza was a great theater, not as great as the Fox Riverside,
but it had a big screen and good projection.
I remember seeing “The FBI Story” “Teacher’s Pet” and I think
“Spirit of St. Louis”
I was there for the last show in 1981. The movie was “Prince of the City”. The manager gave me the one sheet as a souvenir.

Posting to get this theatre back on my “notifications” list….
The De Anza Theatre opened June 6, 1939, according to the June 10 issue of Boxoffice. The first feature was “Young Mr. Lincoln.”
