The architect was Alfred F. Rosenheim. It was originally known as “Clune’s Broadway”. I recently toured this theater… The lobby is now used for a retail store. The auditorium is used for storage for the store. The seats have been removed. However, the balcony and stage are still intact.
The Cameo theatre seated 600 people . This theatre started it’s life as a Nickelodeon it the early days of the movies. In it’s later years the Cameo ran a grind policy (Thats it opens at 9am till around 5am, the next day. That’s four features, run twice.) The last chain to run the Cameo was Metropolitan Theatres in the mid 90’s. Before that Pacific theatres ran the Cameo and the nearby Tower theatre. The Cameo theatre was one of the longest run of any theatre (1911 till mid 90’s).
