Susuki Theatre

102 S. Spring St. Los Angeles, CA 90012 | map |

Well, it's unknown what the theatre was actually called. A listing for a theatre at this address appears in a 1906 Japanese-American city directory as a theatre operated by Sakae (or Ei) Susuki. It might have been a short-lived operation as it doesn't appear in the regular L.A. city directories for 1906 or other years.

It would have been on the east side of the street just south of 1st. The Los Angeles Police Department headquarters building is now on the site. 

The data comes from Denise Khor, an Assistant Professor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. If you're aware of any other information, contact her at Denise.Khor@umb.edu.
