Another photo of the Vogue can be seen here.
The Vogue can be seen in this 1950 photo.
Nice shot of the neon here. (IMDB calls that second feature a comedy, so that doesn’t resolve the Spanish porn controversy.)
Here are two more photos from 1984:

This is a 2009 photo.
I was in Oxnard over the past summer. I happened to be walking near by the Vogue Theater when I noticed the building was obviously a former theater. I had to make a detour to explore. The signage on the tower in front that still reads “Vogue” is what especially caught my attention. The sign is about all that is left of any interest. The auditorium and lobby have been gutted and now house a swap meet.

I was surprised to find some nice 1940’s style details in what was probably the candy counter in the former lobby. See photos.
