This theatre is listed as the Pix in the 1950 phone book.
The Vista was built in 1914. It was a rather intriguing building, as it had alleys to either side of it, a garage behind the building, a dance hall of almost equal size to the theater on the same level, and a billiard hall upstairs.
A Kimball theater organ size 2/9 was installed in the Vista Theater in 1915.
The Victory has been demolished for a long time now. The marquee read simply ‘V’. A Popeye’s now occupies the site.
