I found more clues online. Indian Valley Record January 1950, mentions that the Greenville Theatre had burnt down “the previous year”. This tidbit was part of an article reporting the Tobin Theatre had burned on the Friday night preceding January 26, 1950. Randal Goldenson is listed as the owner of both properties. In the same edition, the Plumas Theatre of Greenville is advertised and showing “The Big Sombrero”, “Miss Grant Takes Richmond” (Lucille Ball), etc.
I found Plumas Theatre advertised listed in the Indian Valley Record newspaper dated November 1955, published in Greenville. No street address included.
There was a Richard Canfield “Dick” Pancake, raised in Malta, MT. He might be “R.C. Pancake”. Leslie George Pancake owned and operated the Cinema Inn theatre in Shasta Lake. I found a reference to a remodel done to the theatre in 1968.
I grew up near this drive-in. The screen was close to and very visible from Highway 101. At night it was always fun to get a glimpse of the movie on the big screen when driving by!
This building has not been demolished. The address is now 4052 Shasta Dam Boulevard in Shasta Lake. The exterior of the former theatre exists with a remodeled front.
