In recent years the former Tujunga Theatre was used as a nightclub. Today, it is a banquet hall, with most of the facade removed.

Joe….Your link no longer works, but I have found another theater located in Tujunga that was built in 1925. I will add to C.T.
You were right Joe, there was an earlier theater in Tujunga. The name of the theater was the Jewel Theater.
Here is a January 1980 ad from the LA Times:

6719-6723 Foothill Blvd is now a nightclub called Caesar’s.
This link shows a restaurant located at 6723 Foothill Boulevard in March of 2008.
Thank you, LM. My friends and I guessed nightclub because of the sheer size of the place. There are some subtle details that seem to point at this building’s theatrical origins, like a shape out front that looks remarkably like a marquee. Also, the building looks like it heads underground at the far end (to slope the floor for seating?), and there are escape exits at the ends with ramps that come back up to ground level.
Otherwise, you’d never guess that this had been a theater.

But I don’t know if any of that opulence is from the theater. Official word — it’s a banquet hall!
Here is a 1982 photo:

The banquet hall on the Google photo doesn’t match the 1982 photo at all.
As Knatcal noted above, the entire facade was removed. A few bones show through, like the position of the doors and the frame of the marquee. But yes, they’ve remodeled the heck out of this place.
