Does anyone know if the New Fillmore was also known as the Fillmore in 1922? I find ads in newspapers for the New Fillmore, but I also found a reference in a scrapbook of that period to going to a show at the Fillmore. Thanks,Leslie

A Robert-Morton organ Size 3/20 was installed in the New Fillmore Theater in 1918.

Not sure about the theater, Robert Gippy, but Divisadero and Fillmore run several blocks parallel to each other and never connect with each other at any time along their lengths.

I thought that the New Fillmore was still there I guess i was mistaken, when you turned off Divisadero onto Fillmore there was a church on the right side a few blocks up that was a theatre. I went inside once during the late 70’s and it was beautiful inside. Unfortunately I don’t remember the interior (usually i’m good at that). If it wasn’t the New Fillmore then what was it?

You may see pictures of the New Fillmore Theatre that were taken in 1943 here: View link

These pictures are part of the San Francisco Library on-line archives. This was a stunning theatre. My father Don Leon and his Petite Orchestra played there between the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. You may view his Showbill here: http://lotsofsites.com/gen/showbill.shtml
