From the Pomona Public Library. I believe this is the theater on Third and not the one that was on North Garey, which was the Fox Sunkist. I could be wrong.
Here are two pictures from San Jose. The first photo is from the twenties and shows a Vitaphone theater, but on First Street. I don’t think that’s the Jose. The second picture speaks for itself.
I walked by the State yesterday. The resident church was having some kind of open house, with refreshments. I wanted to go inside, but I didn’t want to hear the accompanying lecture on my salvation, so I wussed out. Maybe next time.
If it’s not here under another name, the Montez Theater in Grass Valley would immediately follow the Monterey. The photo is from the Pomona Public Library:
Here is a 1940s era photo from the Pomona Public Library which shows a Capitol Theater on K Street, which obviously predates the theater discussed above.
This is a photo of a Victory Theater in California, from the Pomona Public Library. I don’t think it’s the one in Hanford, but it doesn’t sound like the one in Santa Barbara, either. I guess we’ll never know.
There was also a California Theater in Ontario, not listed here.
