Okay, as stated in another message concerning this theatre, I have to side with William, the original address at this location of the Temple Theatre (single screen) was 1611 Las Tunas Drive. How can the current address be 9021 Las Tunas Drive you may well ask. In 1950, (according to records in Temple City Hall) the addresses were changed. Dirty trick for those of us checking addresses, but true. Of course now it is the Edwards Temple Cinema, which was built as stated above, after the single screen Temple Theatre was demolished.
Okay, I get the point, only one balcony. However, I thought the Pantages had at least 2 balconies. Wasn’t there a place in the Orpheum balcony where you stepped down maybe two or three steps to another level of the balcony? Maybe that’s why I thought two. Anyway, yes, truly a grand theatre, and a fond memory.
Okay, first, this is JustOldBob, I had to reregister since I forgot the password. But no problem.
William will love this. The original Temple Theatre was indeed located at 611/617 West Main Street in the city of Alhambra. The name plate is still at that location, the seating area has been changed into a business, something like a warehouse. Next a Temple Theatre was built on the north/east corner of Rosemead and Las Tunas (Las Tunas is the same as Main St.), and in later years, that theatre was demolished, it was a single screen. In it’s place was built the Edwards 4 screens theatre, which has an address of 9021 Las Tunas Drive, in the city of Temple City. Okay, here is the part William will love, I found out at Temple City Hall in the Building Permits department, that the addresses in Temple City were CHANGED in 1950. A friend who lives in Temple City checked his papers and sure enough, his address had been changed in 1950. His shop address is 9700 block of Las Tunas Drive, and the address used to be 2300 block. By converting the address of the NEW Edwards Theatre with the same factor, it comes out to be the 1600 block. As William stated it very well may have been 1611 Las Tunas Drive, and I apologize to him. Now we know, alway look at research with an open mind, never close your mind until the project is closed, or maybe not even then.
Well, this theatre is now dark, and been that way for at least a week. We’ll see what happens.
