Not too sure if Gary Driggs got his dates right. We know the Orpheum showed I’m No Angel — there are pictures of Mae West in a convertible, in front of the theatre, making a promotional appearance. However, the film was released in 1933, not 1929 and her male lead was Cary Grant, not Clark Gable.
Ah, I remember the Bethany! That was the theater I was allowed to see a movie on my own for the first time… and it was The Black Hole. The McDonalds across the street from this place was cool, too, it had that kid’s play area made up with old railcars.

HollywoodSteve, this is the theater that was outside the mall, on 19th Ave.
Aw, I’m sorry to hear this one is gone. Saw so many films here good and bad. Lots of memories ripped away by that wrecking ball.
