kencmcintyre commented about Tilton Square Theatre on Mar 23, 2009 at 4:47 pm

You could be right. I thought it was in May, but it was thirty years ago. I do recall that I saw the film at the Tilton shortly after it opened there, within the first week.

OK, welcome Shrine Auditorium. Hard to miss this place when you’re on the 110 Freeway by USC. Thanks for the intro, Ken.

The building is still there, but it was empty when the Google photo was taken. It looks like it was some kind of adult film place or store before it closed.

This is supposed to be the Cabrillo in San Diego, around 1938, but I have my doubts as it doesn’t resemble the other photos:

OK, Joe, I guess that’s a second opinion. I will add it to the San Pedro theaters. Thanks.

kencmcintyre commented about Vogue Theatre on Mar 21, 2009 at 9:09 pm

News item from April 2007. It doesn’t appear that the Vogue has reopened as of yet.

The historic Vogue Theatre, a 7,130-square-foot retail building at 226-230 Third Ave., in Chula Vista 91910, has been sold for $1.45 million.

If you’re correct the new listing would have to be deleted and Oriental given as an AKA for this theater.
