The web site shows the address as 250 M Street, so the theater does appear to be in operation. Some quick research shows the other theaters in Dinuba as the Dinuba Theater, the Maya, Midway Drive-In, State and Strand.
I drove past the site today. The area is fenced off, with several trees planted on the perimeter. There is no sign of any construction. As I had not been in that area since before the demolition, it was a little unsettling to cross Wilshire on Beverly and not see that distinctive building.

Was this theater in Cicero or Berwyn?
There was a theater in Los Angeles that later became a garage, kind of the opposite of this building. Here are some additional photos:

It looks like the theater’s website has taken a time out (no pun intended). Here are some photos:
