If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!

I recently posted pictures on Webshots of the West End Theater, the Fox West Coast Theater, and the Yost Theater in Santa Ana as they currently appear (July 2006).

The name of the album is “Downtowns – Central Orange County, CA” and the URL is:

There also is a picture of an old theater in Orange, CA in the album.

There is a better than even chance that the correct name of the architect of this theater is John Walker Flood, rather than J. Flood Walker. I have seen both names on cards in the L.A. Public Library database, but I believe J. Flood Walker to have been an error. If someone has access to an old Santa Ana City Directory, or a copy of Who’s Who in California from the 1910s-1920s, the mystery might be cleared up.
