KDG, poster of 4/17/07, should note this LA Times brief dated 2/17/48:

S.C. Student Caught Firing Staples at Burlesque Girls

The ladies of the chorus at the Burbank Theater at yesterday’s matinee were jumping – but not in time with the music. The dance director objected, “That’s not the way the dance goes”. The chorus chorused, “We know that, but something is hitting us. Something that hurts”.

The management called police who soon spotted William C. Kiele, 23, University of Southern California student. From his eighth row seat, police said Kiele was peppering the dancing ladies with half-inch steel staples. He had a rubber slingshot. Police booked Kiele at County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

This was actually a twin, at least towards the end of its life.

11021 is a parking lot.11001 looks like a theater, but no record of one at that address, as far as I know.

Not demolished. It is a church now. Status should be closed.

Here are some photos I took last week. Is there any chance that the address was 6003 and not 6013? Look at the 6003 building:
