Sorry about all the typos. I was multi-tasking, poorly.

I mentioned seeing this building on one of the other pages. I chedked it out today, and it’s definitely the theater. Marquee, verticl blade, the works. I took quite a few pictures. It’s a church now. Status should be closed. Address is 7510.

Not demolished. It’s some kind of factory. The sign says “Se venden retazos”. We sell something, but I don’t know the last word. I took some pictures which I will post later. Status should be closed.

MagicLantern is correct. The northernmost building is 6003, then the next is 6015. No more 6013.

This is now a Spanish church.

Not demolished. The theater and the adjacent Mission Hotel were probably built at the same time. The hotel is now a church. The theater is DEG Sewing. Status should be closed.

There were a handful of theaters today that are listed as demolished but are still standing. This is one of them. It’s some kind of factory, as you will see when I post the pictures. Status should be closed.

I was in some pretty dicey neighborhoods today on my theater tour, but I had to take this one off my list. It mapped out to the middle of the worst neighborhood in Los Angeles. We’ll assume it’s still demolished.

1718 S. Main is directly under the Santa Monica Freeway. No trace of the theater remains.

It’s gone now. There’s a large building on the corner at 801 and then an acupuncture clinic at 809. Status should be closed/demolished.

I was in front today. No way to get inside, though. I took some pictures.

The theater building is still there. It’s painted red. No way to tell what kind of business, though. I took some pictures.

The front of the church is just plain stucco. They’ve gotten rid of any ornamentation that may have been there previously. The marquee gives the address as 4409 W. Adams.

This is now a carpet store.

I was inside this theater today. It looks about the same as in the pictures above, except Lincoln has lost his place on the staircase. I took some pictures which I will post when I get them on a disk.

The building still stands. It says Florence Mills on the side. I will post some pictures I took today. Status should be closed.
