My wife lived in Glenmora in 1980 as an exchange student from Brazil. She recalls seeing a movie at the Pringle. She had never seen popcorn sold inside a theater as that was not common in Brazil at that time.
I don’t see that the theater has been demolished as of today, 3/14/08. It may be in the works. By the way, quo vadis means “where are you going?” in Latin.

Function should be retail.
The Paramount was part of the Famous Players Canadian Corporation in the early Sixties.
That’s a great photo. Thanks.
The Majestic was part of the Malco chain in the early sixties.
The theater was still around in 1963. It was part of the Malco chain then.
This was a Malco Theater in the early sixties. The subcorp. was Citizens Theater Co. The same group also ran the Hi-Y Drive-In in Henderson.
This 1995 article states that the Jefferson was razed in 1977, and that a state liquor store is currently onsite:

There is a 1/28/08 article from the LA Times about the renovation project posted on the Los Angeles Theater page.
Last July the marquee was advertising a night club. The club may be gone, that’s why they took those panels down. Just a guess.
That’s an interesting photo. I hadn’t considered the concept of segregated drive-ins before, but it went with the times, I suppose.
If anyone is driving past here soon, let me know if the screen has been taken down.
