The building has been sold to a new church. They are using the theater for services as well as live performances. In fact, the invited me to a performance tonight. I took some interior photos, but as always my flash let me down. I think the function should be church/live performances:

The last address on the 100 block is 132, then there is a vacant lot on the corner. I think the vacant lot was the California. A few doors south, there is another vacant lot which was probably the Park.

The building is now an antique store. I went inside, and it was a decent sized space. There is a new multiplex about a block away.

kencmcintyre commented about Is a free movie theater feasible? on Apr 4, 2008 at 11:21 pm

The last free film I saw was “Casablanca”. The Gordon Biersch restaurant in Pasadena used to show classics on a brick wall in the summertime. I guess the expectation was that you would eat at their restaurant after the movie.

This 1933 photo was taken at the same time as the first LAPL photo posted on 11/28/05, but from a different angle.

kencmcintyre commented about Rosemead Theatre on Apr 4, 2008 at 10:29 pm

Here is a page from a 1944 map book, Los Angeles county. On the bottom left, you can see that Valley Boulevard is 1600 near Rosemead. Joe’s 1964 map corresponds with this.

I might be out there tomorrow. I will check it out.

kencmcintyre commented about Fox Event Center on Apr 4, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Thanks. Your photo didn’t have a caption, of course, as you posted it. If I was to click on “Back to Flickr page”, as I just did, I then see the caption. Look before you leap, as the saying goes.

kencmcintyre commented about Studio Theatre on Apr 4, 2008 at 9:32 pm

I had to re-map this as the map link at the top puts you in Glendora. W. Baseline picks up in San Bernardino just east of the 215.

kencmcintyre commented about California Theater on Apr 4, 2008 at 9:23 pm

On one of the other pages, a contributor mentioned that the Park was on the east side of Euclid, just south of the California. I will look for that one as well. It’s not listed here on CT as of yet.

I’m taking the old road (66) tomorrow from Pasadena to Ontario, so unless I get waylaid I should be able to figure out the status of this one.

Sorry about any duplication. I try to scan through what’s been posted, but I do miss sometimes.
