Googling shows a bunch of fast food places at 3615 Forbes Avenue (not street, is there a difference?). I counted Baja Fresh, a bagel store and a pretzel shop.
Here is an undated photo. Sorry about the quality. The photo caption says Hyde Park, MA, but given the description above I believe it’s the same theater: http://tinyurl.com/2gwgcc
You can see that the theater is already gone in this 1987 photo:

No parking lot that I saw. Just dirt.
Where’s the rest of the story? It stopped on page 7, and I was just getting interested.
Nothing at 5203 or 5263 S. Broadway.
Where ever it was, it’s not there now. There’s a store on the corner of 44th & Broadway and after that an empty lot.
There is a small store at 4817 with a house behind it. 4811 is an apartment building. I would say the theater is long gone.
No trace of the theater at this location today.
6101 is a church on the corner of 61st and Main. 6107 is an empty lot, then there’s another building at 6111.
The Merryland Theater was advertised in the LA Times on 9/2/23 at 1015 E. 7th Street. This is probably an aka for the Dorkel.
A Broadway Theater was advertised in the LA Times on 12/20/03 – vaudeville and moving pictures. Address was 554-556 S. Broadway.
Here is an uncropped version of the photo at the top of the page:

The Strand was formerly called the Nickeldom and the Unique. There is a photo of the Unique Theater on this blog:

I would say the style is Art Deco, based on the marquee at least.

No, none that I have now. I will post any that I find.
Maybe it costs a nickel to see the photo.
