If this “postcard” view is the same as the one I have in my possession (I could not open the link herein) I have previously dated it to February 10-12, 1949. The movie shown on the marquee was ‘One Sunday Afternoon’ starring Dennis Morgan. (Researched at the Pasadena Star-News archive in the main library.) I grew up in Pasadena and saw many movies at the Strand, the first in 1954, when I was in the third grade. The Strand was torn down, along with most all of the other buildings on the block, to make way for the Plaza shopping mall, which has since made way for the Paseo de Colorado shopping mall. The Strand sat just a few doors west of Euclid Ave. The entrance stairs to the new movie-plex at the current mall, marks the approximate location of former Stand Theater.
