Having grown up in Laguna during the 50’s and 60’s I spent a good deal of time in this movie palace, most of it on Saturday for noon show of cartoons, shorts and a feature film. Not mentioned are the great murals located in several recessed alcoves on both sides of the theater, (now hidden by drapes) they depict important events from California’s history. Painted by two local artist in he 30’s, Al Dupont and David Rosen, both now passed. Al also painted the buried pirate treasure mural that was in the old Jolly Roger on PCH.
