A card headed “Theaters—Riverside” in the Los Angeles Public Library’s California Index quotes this item from the August 17, 1912, issue of Southwest Builder & Contractor:

“Alter theater—1075 Main St; F.O. Adler, owner, Auditorium Theater; J.G. Durfey, builder; $500”
As 1075 Main Street would have been the Mission Theatre’s address under Riverside’s old numbering system, it must have been called the Auditorium Theater before it became the Orpheum.
