On 8/17/55, LA Times advertised the Cherry Pass Drive-In, between Beaumont and Banning. That sounds like Wilmington to me. Anyone ever heard of this drive-in?
There is an ad in the 8/17/55 LA Times for the Harbor. Address is given as 23322 S. Vermont. Phone number was TE4-8501. Features that day were “Drums Across the River” and “The Kettles at Home”.
A Harold Lloyd film was breaking attendance records at the Symphony in June 1922, according to the LA Times. It looks like the theater was torn down a year later, per Scott. There aren’t any more ads for the Symphony in the Times after 1923. Status should be closed/demolished.
If you look again at the photo from the LAPL I posted on 2/3/07, the Banner is to the left of the small white hotel sign, or immediately north of the sign. I said south originally but now I have the UCLA photo posted on 5/18/07.
Listed at 840 S. Broadway in the early 20s, per the LA Times.
Thanks, Joe.

There are reviews on Yahoo for this theater from April 2007. Is it closed and demolished?
Here are photos from April 2007. The last shows a familiar name that is now invading Brazil:

I vote for closed/demolished. The new theater can be entered on its own.
Never mind. Another ad says Highway 99, so they were talking about the city of Beaumont on the way to Palm Springs.
The Unique was showing Spanish movies on 10/6/54.

It was called Movies of Tarzana in September 1974. Six screens at that time.
No more Doris Day films in September 1974. Features were “Behind the Green Door” and “Resurrection of Eve”.
Featured on 9/15/74 – “Chinatown” and “The Stone Killers”.
It still had five screens in September 1974.
I’m still wrong. South would be correct if I had any sense of direction. I was right the first time.

September 1974 advertised all male films 10 am to 5 am. Gives them a couple of hours to sweep and mop, maybe make some fresh popcorn.
Featured on 9/15/74 – “Animal Crackers” plus 2nd Marx Bros movie.
Feature on 9/15/74: “Where Couples Gather”. Advertised as 24 hour theater.
