I am going to say the address was 2216 Main Street. Cambria Drug and Gift is now on that site using 2222. As that is the building immediately next door to The French Corner Bakery (2214), which is where the Shell station was. The Shell station driveway is the today bakery’s parking lot. Burton Drive is the side street. The sign and pole on the left that says Cambria Pines Lodge in the postcard is amazingly still there. And says Shale Oak Winery today. Same trapezoid sign box repurposed even!

Well I heard back from Cambria Historical Society: “The current address of the theater is 2222 Main Street, home of the Cambria Gift and Drug Store. At times when it was the theatre it was part of a hardware store as well in that building.” Scroll right if you go to street view to replicate the current POV of the vintage postcard.
