Well i know they will book only G-Rated fare.
No, the theater shows films of all ratings (except perhaps NC-17). It is a very well-appointed, comfortable modern multiplex, and the little museum area devoted to Mary Pickford and her husband, Charles “Buddy” Rogers is a unique touch. (I have always thought it a bit odd though that Mary Pickford, though known as “America’s Sweetheart,” was Canadian by birth).
Interesting CWalczac,I did not know that.
Yes,I had no idea she was from Canada.
Notice in the below Cinema Tour Site that the street listed is:
EAST CIVIC CENTER DRIVE
and the town is:
CATHEDRAL CITY??
The address number is exactly the same, so I think the 19 photos are for this theater. What do you think?
Notice the outside signs just say, PICKFORD THEATER.

Well, the Pickfair address above is the one for the theater according to the SR Theaters website. The theater is built along one edge of what amounts to a modern take on a town square; a Cathedral City municipal building is almost adjacent to the theater. It is possible that the segment of the drive that runs in front of the theater may have been renamed Pickfair from Civic Center Drive. Having been there, I can assure you that the pictures are indeed of the Pickford Theater.
(Cathedral City, a part of the Greater Palm Springs area, does not really have any real religious significance per se; it was named for Cathedral Canyon, which somewhat resembles a cathedral).
The above link to the theatre’s website doesn’t work. Here’s the proper link: View link
