The ad on the far right was in the LA Times in March 1947. People were somewhat perturbed about the advent of the atomic weapons era: http://tinyurl.com/26qu9w
I called the number that was listed on one site today as I thought the theater might have reopened. I spoke to a nice woman, probably Mrs. Koons, who lives above the theater. She confirmed that the Moon has been closed since 1994.
It looks like the city offices are still in the north end of the mall, but the theater is gone, as Pete pointed out in 2002. Status should be closed/demolished.
We only have one drive-in listed in Fairfax to date. The theater in the photo was on Route 7 by the old Washington-Virginia airport. If anyone can place this drive-in, let me know. You have to scroll for a while before you get to the drive-in photo: http://tinyurl.com/29o2co
I rented Quicksand from Netflix a few months ago. Most of the film was shot in the Venice area. Interesting to see the area before the Marina was completed, lots of oil wells and seedy neighborhoods.
This ad shows the Cameo at the Allen address. Maybe a typo. The theater is in Suite B, and there is a hair salon in Suite C at 208 W. Main: http://tinyurl.com/23ahoh
The theater company website shows productions in many different venues. It looks like the last show at Miners was in 2002, so they may not be using it as a venue now.
The church website has some interior and exterior photos of the Milford. Click on the photo gallery. No address, however. Perhaps Pastor Shockley can give us the physical address so we can update the caption. http://tinyurl.com/29to89
A controversial film was playing at the Vista in September 1947. Note the different show times for men and women:

I think with a suite number it must be.
The function should be restaurant, unless the theater is at 4028:
Zorbas Pizza – 4026 Macarthur Ave Richmond VA 23227 – (804) 264-5370
Samis Grotto
4028 Macarthur Avenue, Richmond, VA 23227

I will do that.
Only mentioned as there is a chiropractor currently at 5105 Backlick Road in Annandale.
Oops. I now see the 3/2/05 post by LM providing the address. My mistake.
