Let’s bulldoze the first one. Editor please note. Can we also eliminate the duplicative Tilton Theater in Northfield, NJ?

Here is a 1946 photo from the LAPL, shortly before demolition. I also have included the caption as there is a reference to another aka, Actor’s Theater. I thought Joe would like that:

Grand Theatre, located in the Walker Auditorium Building at 750 South Grand Avenue, is to be demolished to make room for a parking lot. Built in 1907 by George W. Walker, the six-story theater was known as the Walker Auditorium and was the home of the theatrical hits of the day. It was renamed the Orange Grove Theater and became a music performance hall. Before being renamed one last time as the Grand Theatre in 1936 and converted in to a motion picture theater, it was briefly called the Actors Theatre. The building includes offices and meeting rooms. Photo dated: July 3, 1946.

Funny that there were three theaters on this unassuming street at one point, the Jewel, the Ivy and the Euclid. Now buried under a few tons of concrete.

Sometime in the 1950s, I think. It would have been the 5 going through East LA. I found the street on a 1944 map around that area, but today’s Thomas guide has no Stephenson Street.

The 1927-28 Cloquet city directory shows the Leb at the northeast corner of Cloquet at 10th avenue, so it was around as early as that date.

But we ended up with a nice picture of the theater, didn’t we? So all is not lost.

Yes sir.

According to this article, Threshingfloor Ministries is the current occupant, so church would be correct:

It looks like it’s a bar called Flippers, currently. Perhaps the church is gone.
