This item was in the San Antonio Light in November 1938:

Changes in the management of two Interstate theaters in San Antonio had been announced Saturday, with departure of Maurice Gleaves, Empire theater manager, to Houston. Buddy Welker, uptown theater manager, will replace Gleaves as the Empire manager, Interstate officials said, and Russell Rindy, of Houston, will become manager of the Uptown. Gleaves will take charge of the Eastwood theater in Houston.

So the Strand building, constructed in 1916, was burned in the 1929 fire but not destroyed. It was renovated and became the Premier. At some later date the name was changed from Premier to Los Gatos.

This is a 1944 photo. It looks like the earlier Strand was re-opened as the Premier after a fire in 1929, but then later became the Los Gatos listed here. The Premier was mentioned as an aka by Gary Parks on 9/21/08.
