The Orpheum Theatre in Santa Monica was open from at least March 1909 through 1912. The venue ran a mix of movies and vaudeville. A Mr. Alfred Fiedler was the lessee and manager.
The ads at the time noted that his location on 3rd was between Utah and Colorado Streets. Utah has since been renamed Broadway. Earlier, Colorado St. had been the location of the incoming train tracks (and depot) and was called Railroad Ave.
While the theatre wasn't operated by the Orpheum circuit, there's a possibility that the circuit booked the vaudeville shows at the theatre. Orpheum had been operating various theatres in downtown Los Angeles beginning in 1894.
Status: Demolished - it would be under the Santa Monica Place shopping mall.
More Information: There doesn't seem to be any so far.
