I can’t figure out how to edit the street view, but the address of the theater was 1816 Hillsdale ave San Jose, CA. It’s now a “Premier Fitness World” which you can kind of see in Street View. The actual entrance to the cinema was set back in further than the gym signage you see from Google. You should punch in 1812 hillsdale into street view, then click the right arrow once for a decently clear shot of the building facade.
Does anybody have more details as to where specifically this theatre was located?
The twins were also briefly known as the Hillsdale I & II, and the Cambrian Park I & II.
Also, second-run films returned for a very short period after the porn fare was discontinued. And it was one of the area theaters which ran Friday and Saturday midnight showings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
