Did this operate in the building called the Opera House on Sutter Street?
Sorry: Correction
Theatre Folsom became Folsom Theatre in December of 1926. In June of 1930, it installed sound and operated part-year closing in the summer months. The film, “Return of the Terror” with Mary Astor on September 25, 1934 caught on fire. Though all four patrons and the two operators got out safely, there wasn’t enough insurance to resume films.
However, on March 20, 1942, E.B. Wagnon re-quipped the venue relaunching with, “He Died With His Boots On.” Wagnon closed the theater to seek out improved equipment on August 9, 1954 after Rita Hayworth in “It Grows on Trees.” That search must have been unsuccessful.
