Assessors information on this building provides a 1913 construction date. Definitely not demolished.
For those curious, the City Planning Department report on the adjacent property (4250-4254 S. Broadway, plus 270 W. 42nd Place) describes that building (the Mission Hotel mentioned by ken mc in his comment of June 10, 2007) as a store-residential combination built in 1911.
Listed at 4260 Moneta in the city directory of 1914:

Not demolished. The theater and the adjacent Mission Hotel were probably built at the same time. The hotel is now a church. The theater is DEG Sewing. Status should be closed.
Does anyone know if the Mission Theater in San Diego is listed here under another name? This picture is from the San Diego Historical Society:
