The Reseda Theater was designed by S. Charles Lee and opened in 1948. It had been operated by both Pacific Theatres and Metropolitan Theatres. In its final years as a Spanish language house it was advertised as the Cine Reseda. It closed in 1988 and has been sitting vacant. In June 2016 plans were announced for a new Reseda Laemmle Multiplex Theater with 6 screens and 34 senior citizen units on top of and behind the theater building. The RESEDA marquee will be part of the design.

Some specific dates can be updated in the Overview from it.
The image says the photo is from 1946, but I believe it’s earlier because it is still a vaudeville house.
The Rialto was still in operation when it burned.
“Midnight Express” released October 6th, 1978 was on the marquee, at the time of the December 27th, 1978 fire.

Seattle bus 36, a 1937 Ford “Transit Bus” (a front-engined design), photographed in 1937. It is at a stop westbound on University Street between 5th and 4th avenues. The lefthand portion of the building in the immediate background still stands, as part of the 1924-opened Fairmont Olympic Hotel (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), but the righthand portion – which in actuality was a separate building, the Metropolitan Theatre, opened in 1911 – was removed after the theatre’s closure in 1954, and was replaced by an entrance courtyard for the hotel. The separate building in the lefthand background was demolished many years ago and the site is now occupied by a plaza in front of the IBM Building.

Here are 2 better photos of me and my parents at the Flea Market at the Revere Drive In Theater in 1972 and 1974.
Applies to next photo. Though I believe the photo is from before 1946, because it is still a vaudeville house.
