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

This theater was once known as the New Yorker, per an ad in the LA Times dated 11/23/63.

Here are some additional photos from the LOC:

There is an abandoned marquee in this Vegas graveyard. Probably from the Fox. Scroll down about halfway to see it:

I would like to say that this is the Eureka Midway, but I can’t. In fact, I have no idea where this forlorn theater was located. If someone comes across this and recognizes it, let us know:

“Two Minute Warning” was playing at the Studio in November 1976, according to an LA Times ad. You have to admire the casting in this film, which I remember fondly from the blimp crashing into the Rose Bowl (or possibly the Coliseum). In no particular order, the film starred Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, Beau Bridges, Marilyn Hassett(?), David Janssen, Jack Klugman, Walter Pidgeon, Gena Rowlands, Brock Peters, David Groh (the husband on “Rhoda”), Anthony Davis (USC football star) and Joe Kapp (NFL quarterback). Probably worth renting for the cast alone.

There were attempts to turn the Hemet into a live theater venue in 2002, according to this article in the Press-Enterprise:
