Function should be retail.
No, it turns out that it’s called Chestnuts & Papaya and its business is furniture and accessory rentals for film productions.
Looks from the pictures like this is another building converted to a single use and thus probably using a single address. If that address is 5000 W. Adams (I can’t find a current listing for 5002 W. Adams), then the current occupant is a home & garden-related shop going by the strange but euphonious name Chestnuts Papayas.
Here are some photos from June 2007:

Featured on 6/26/35 – “Society Doctor” and “The Barretts of Wimpole Street”.
The theater building is still there. It’s painted red. No way to tell what kind of business, though. I took some pictures.
I have searched on Terraserver for the address 5002 W.Adams Boulevard, Los Angeles, and the fairly recent USGS aerial photograph of the area displayed shows a building at that address which certainly looks as though it once housed a theater. I have not been able to find what the current use of the building might be.
