932 / 1018 S. Central Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90021 | map |
Opened: Perhaps 1911. The lot had a house on it in 1910. The location was on the east side of the street opposite 11th St., across the street from the Hub Theatre.
An April 1917 puff piece in the California Eagle. It was another find by Ken McIntyre.
The block got a bit of renumbering in the 20s so this side of the street would correlate with the numbers on the west side. The Angelus is in the 1923 and 1925 city directories as 1018 S. Central.
Seating: Unknown
The theatre appears in pink on the right (east) side of Central in this detail from Plate 012 of the 1914 Baist Real Estate Survey from Historic Map Works. That's 9th St. running across the top of the image. The vacant lot shown in white across the street and just a bit north would later become the location of the Hub Theatre.
Closing: Perhaps 1925 was it. There's no Angelus Theatre in the 1926, 1927 or 1929 city directories.
Status: Demolished. There's a newer building on the site.
More Information: There really isn't any yet.
