The Colusa Theatre closed March 6th, 2017, and appears to be for sale.

1 exterior photo and 1 auditorium photo added credit Katherine Mixie Kubicek.
Thanks For The Memories & For Sale Or Lease on the marquee.
9/16/77 Sun-Times movie section added with the Follies ad in the lower left hand corner.
Note they used “D-T' for "Deep Throat”.
This also helps date the previously posted photo with “Deep Throat” on the marquee.
So the Overview can be changed from 1975 to 1977 as far as the showing of that film at the Follies.
1981 photo added credit John P. Keating Jr.
Not sure if I mentioned it before, but the black tiles on the facade were called Vitrolite.
Very popular material back in the day.
Two undated photos & copy added courtesy of Kevin Cox.
The original Fun Shows. Hosted by “Uncle Jim” Anderson of Anderson’s Hardware on WIRK from the Surf Theater

Just added a late 1960 photo, with “High Time” and “The Enemy General” on the marquee. So it was still operating then. They were released in September & October of 1960.
The current street view shows that it has indeed been replaced by the Alvarez Condominiums now, which I believe is a new structure. Since the auditorium roof line is no longer visible. The small building to it’s left in the 1960 photo, still remains today.
The Florida Theatre’s grand opening was April 8th 1927.
It is celebrating it’s 90th anniversary this Saturday with a free Buster Keaton film.
Article below also has the timeline of it’s conversion in 1983 to a performing arts center and beyond.
1985 photo added credit Matt Weber.
