I remember this theater when I was a kid. My uncle owned a newspaper stand and the owners of this theater used to let him sell newspaper out in front. I remember as a kid my uncle said no going in there and bothering anyone, even if the owners ask you to. We were always to sit out front and read our books or help stack and sort newspaper and magazines. Sad to see what happened to it. It was a part of chinatown history.

This is a 1936 program for the Mandarin Theater. If you can read it, please translate for the rest of us.

Wasn’t this theatre also known as the Sun Sing Theatre from 1950 thru 1986?

Since the Mandarin is now used for retail, its status should probably be “Closed” rather than “Open.”
