This is a very lazy listing with no information at all. The theater was constructed sometime between 1911 and 1916. The address would have been 801 G Ave. The building was demolished many years ago, although both neighboring structures remain. When built, it was on Main St, at the corner with 5th, but both streets have been renamed.
It seems (I can’t find copies online) that the 1928 map shows the theater still open, but by 1939 it had become the post office. The building was definitely still there in the early ‘50s.
