The Gar Wah was open at least into 1988, as I saw both “Robocop” and “Action Jackson” there.
The latter was released February 12, 1988, and it was not first run at the Gar Wah.
1982 photo added credit John P. Keating Jr., that shows the parking structure continued to stand operational after the demolition of the Shangri-La in 1981.
Additional parking was created were it had stood as well.
So the subsequent demolition of the parking structure and hotel development happened later.
Circa 1948 photo & description added courtesy of Jim Robb.

I uploaded the July 1938 Owens-Illinois Glass Company image, in case the 2009 link goes dead.
Photo added courtesy of Angela Marie. It appears to have also been named the New Elite Theatre at some point, and operated until 1914.

“Beau Geste” was released September 7, 1966. So likely first run and before `67.
