The Dos Palos is a two story building with white stucco front facade. Second story has arches that looks as thought they may have had windows on the second level. Red and white trim lined the roof.

The Film Daily Yearbook 1941 gives a seating capacity the Dos Palos Theatre as 450. In the F.D.Ybook 1952 it has a seating capacity of 490.
Great News!! I took a trip out to see this theatre,and the marquee lists “Fockers” and “Elektra” Now Showing! I was so shocked,that i almost crashed into it. I plan to catch films here regularly,and would encourage others in the central San Joaquin valley to do the same….gotta support it,or lose it.
Based on the preceding post, the status should be Open, unless it has closed since last January.
Was just there today, it’s still Alive & Kickin'!
After being closed for over 20 years
the DOS PALOS THEATRE was twinned & reopened back in the early 90’s.
I saw JURASSIC PARK in DIGITAL SOUND there and it was packed.
When the new plexes opened 20 miles away in Los Banos CA
Dos Palos' business was injured.
There was also a drive-in in Dos Palos in 1963, named (not too surprisingly) the Dos Palos Drive-In. Capacity was 350 cars.
I guess the old management was unfriendly:
