703 Venice Blvd. Venice (Los Angeles), CA 90291 | map |
Opened: Perhaps 1928 was the opening for this short-lived film house. The address is on the north side of the street between Pisani Pl. and Oakwood Ave.
In the 1927 Santa Monica city directory the 703 address is shown as vacant. In the 1928 directory Venice Theatre is in the listings by address but not in the alphabetical section. The 1930/31 directory it says it's being run by Dominick Abate and is a venue for motion pictures.
Closing: Perhaps it didn't last long as a theatre the first time around. It doesn't appear in the 1933 Santa Monica city directory.
Status: The building is now the home of Pacific Resident Theatre.
More Information: The City Planning Department's Zimas database
uses an address of 701 E. Venice Blvd. for the property. They don't
list a construction date. The building to the east at 705-707 dates from
1923 and was a grocery store for part of its life.
