The LA Library describes this theater as the first Orpheum, between 2nd and 3rd on Spring. The Lyceum later occupied that spot. The photo is from 1886:

Of course, Mary Miles Minter’s career went down the tubes after she was involved or allegedly involved in the murder of William Desmond Taylor, a noted director, in 1922. It may have been Mary’s mother that actually pulled the trigger. Looks like we’ll never know.
