Note: the streetscape map sends you to Lizardi St., you need to maneuver around the corner to Dauphine St. Face the church and the movie theater was to your left. Like most folks, the geography of my little world as a kid is forever burned into my brain!
The theater was owned by the Fiorito brothers, Anthony and Kelly, who also operated a grocery store on the corner of Lizardi and Dauphine, just next to the theater.
I don’t recall it being sold to the Joy family nor have I heard of a Mr.Schiro as being a later owner. My recollection is that it closed while owned by the Fioritos. Also, the address of 5125 Dauphine is correct. The entrance was on Dauphine, roughly where the camelback house, shown in the streetscape photo, is located now. As info, the grocery store was where that small parking lot is next to the church. This was my neighborhood theater as a kid. I grew up around the corner on Burgundy St.
