The first comment for this theater notes its demolition for an office tower. There’s no trace of the theater building currently. Status should be closed/demolished.
The theater was called Tivoli Plaza in this October 1966 item from the Northwest Arkansas Times:
On Nov. 4, the Mary Pickford-Douglas Fairbanks version of the Shakespeare comedy “Taming of the Shrew†will be seen at the Tivoli Plaza Theater in West Los Angeles.
Here is an item from the Northwest Arkansas Times dated 4/26/52. Looks like it was already the Plaza by 1952.
Jack “Pud” Fields has sold the Plaza Grill, located in the Plaza Theater building, to Dan Pickens, a Korean war veteran who served with the 936th Field Artillery Battalion of the Arkansas National Guard.
Here is an item from the Fayetteville Democrat in August 1932:
Bentonville, Aug.9-A.M. Lightner, Guy D. Lightner and Mary T. Grant have become the owners of the Meteor Theater in a deal with Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Williams, of Tonkawa, Okla., who purchased the property about a month ago. The theater was valued at $20,000, and a 40-acre farm owned by the Lightners near the New Hope rural school was part of the consideration. Mr. Williams, who has been manager of the theater, will continue in charge of it for the present. The theater was built a few years ago by Harry Kelly and is one of the finest in this section.

Nice boats.
59 W. Front Street is the building that most closely resembles the 1973 photo and what I can see in the postcard:
