I think the Seville was located in the now empty lot across from the church I photographed a while. We all agree that the church is not the former theater. The Christian Life book store seen in the Google photo corresponds with an article in the LA Times in 1925 about a new market building being constructed immediately adjacent to the Seville.
This photo shows Rush Street in the fifties or sixties. There’s no Singapore theater in Chicago, although there does appear to be a marquee in the photo, on the left. Perhaps it was a restaurant.
Compare the 1982 photo to the Loopnet photo posted in December 2006:

The Seville was in the LA Times theater guide in April 1950. Click on the guide for a better view.
