The Sun was first advertised in the LA Times in July 1920. In July 1952, the theater listing states that the Sun is temporarily closed. It does not appear as a theater in the Times after that date.

Assessor info in the ZIMAS report for the existing building at this address says it was built in 1912. It must be the theatre, remodeled beyond regognition.

And, as noted before, this theatre was where Gaylord Carter got his start as a theatre organist at this theatre.

The building at 1408 doesn’t look like it was ever a theater, so this is probably a replacement.

Legendary theatre organist Gaylord Carter got his start in the 1920s as an organist for a Sun Theatre in Los Angeles.
