I just make an impassioned plea to have not only the Crown Theater, but all others cross-referenced so they can be found. Having moved from San Francisco many years ago, I had no idea the Crown became the Cine Latino and did not find the listing until I was notified by email that it was already included. I remember the “Crown” from the late 40s to early 60’s, and saw many a movie there for 12 to 15 cents. I most particularly remember the rocking seats. The best seats on Mission Street!!. Very possibly they were installed in 1947.
I found out just a little more about the Palmer, just so everyone will know it was not a figment of my imagination:
“Theater owners Muzio and Faro ran the M and F, which became the Palmer Theater, located on 24th between Noe and Castro, where Rite Aid is now”.
At least this gives clarification to it’s location. W N.
