There seem to be no photos of the building.
Closing: It was still listed in the city directory as late as 1946.
Bill Gabel asserts that the theatre was running as late as 1952.
Status: It's gone. The site has been redeveloped with a large shopping center.

I wish there were pictures of this theater. Huntington Park was once a beautiful city
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one. I've looked through hundreds of Huntington Park photos hoping to find a shot of this one. Maybe someone will spot one on eBay someday!
