Opened: Perhaps the Aztec Theatre opened in 1928 or 1929 and closed a couple of years later. This mysterious venue was listed in the 1929 city directory and that's all that is known. It's not in either the 1928 or the 1932 editions.
The address no longer exists. There's a 300 N. block, between Michigan Ave. and E. Cesar Chavez Ave. But the 200 N. block is now part of the Eugene A. Obregon Park.
Status: It's been demolished, whatever it was.

The Aztec Theater was located at 251 SO. MAIN STREET. It opened in 1925 as the Arrow Theater. It became the Azteca, and then the Aztec in 1941. Its last name was the Linda Lea Theater. Here's a history of it under that name, with photgraphs with all its names and handbills. https://losangelestheatres.blogspot.com/2019/04/downtown-independent.html
ReplyDeleteYes, this one in East L.A. was a different Aztec -- no relation.
