The Ramona Theatre was open in 1935 with seating listed at 800. This was an African American Theatre, and was the only one to operate in the State of Arizona.
The theatre closed around 1955 and has since been demolished.
Any further information on the Ramona Theatre would be appreciated.

The Ramona billed itself as the ‘Home of Westerns’ in the 40’s. They ran older films and were near the Spanish language theaters, the Azteca and Rex. Most kids never went that far east on Washington Street. The Marquee had a large RAMONA at the center and a sign that said ‘Always 2 Features.’ At an angle on each end were the sign letters for the movies playing.
