I spent a lot of time in and around this theatre. I attended JR Harris Elementary, around 4 blocks from there, Deady Jr. High, around 8 blocks from there and Milby High, around 2 blocks from there. I don’t remember what year it was demolished but I do remember one of the last shows I watched there was Patton. Wow, wish I had pictures. I was in ROTC at Milby and we practiced precision drill in the parking lot behind the theatre. I remember way back watching Roy Rodgers on Saturday morning mattinees, Elvis movies, Dracula even the movie where Doris Day sang “Que Sera, Sera”. Nothing there now but an end of a freeway that got caught up in politics and was never finished. Hope someone can come up with more pictures.
