The Park Theatre is still there. It was never torn down and replaced with an American Legion. The American Legion is ½ block to the West of the Park Theatre. There’s a story I posted on it at www.WaterWinterWonderland.com if you care to learn more. I’m an Historian and I even use to go to the Park Theatre back in the early 50s. It’s cost then was like $.14 or $.19 for admission. Louie and Maude were the owners and were brother and sister.
They run B movies there. I saw, of course Frankenstien, The Mole People, Ed the Talking Horse, and many others.
Could this be opened as the Ramona Park theatre on May 28th, 1931? Ad posted.
