1986 photo of the Pine Cone Theatre, this theatre should also have a AKA Pine Cone in the header.

The Pine Cone Theater is listed in 1955 with 150 seats.

As Chuck posted, this was the Pine Cone Theater. Compare the 1986 photo of the Pine Cone to a photo of the Redwood Theater on Cinematour.

Cinematour lists it with an AKA Pine Cone too.

Just curious but does anyone know when this theatre was converted to a twin? That might be why it shows 260 seats in the header as opposed to the 150. If the 150 was after twinning then those must be some small auditoriums.

I think 260 might be after the twinning. The September 29, 1951, issue of Boxoffice said that Norris Kemp of the Pine Cone Theatre planned to expand the house to 600 seats, and that the project, including a new front and foyer, was being designed by Gale Santocono of San Francisco. FDY might have been late with the updating of the enlarged seat count. From Google Street View and satellite imagery it’s clear that the building could easily have held 600 seats. It sounds like it might be one of those cases where every other row was removed to give more leg room.
