This photo is also from the LOC, but it doesn’t identify the theater except to say it’s in Brownsville, unfortunately. We have three indoor theaters listed plus a drive-in. It doesn’t appear to fit with any of the three:

Is this theater actually demolished? The comment of 2/18/04 implies that the theater still exists.

I read the LA Times story this morning. It was reported that on some days the total attendance at theater was zero. I can see why Landmark would be complaining.

I imagine they changed the street name to the more euphonious La Mirada when they started developing the area.
