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.
The Banner had migrated back to 458 S. Main by September 1974. Featured were “Erotic Adult Films – Discount After Midnight”. I would hope they give me a discount if I’m on sleazy Main Street at that time of the night.
Features at the Astro on 9/15/74 – “Campeones Justicieros” and “Enfriar Madido”. The first means Champions of Justice. The second is unknown. “Enfriar” means to cool, but I don’t know what “madido” means. It might be a name.
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.

I’m still wrong. South would be correct if I had any sense of direction. I was right the first time.
