I walked by the State yesterday. The resident church was having some kind of open house, with refreshments. I wanted to go inside, but I didn’t want to hear the accompanying lecture on my salvation, so I wussed out. Maybe next time.

If it’s not here under another name, the Montez Theater in Grass Valley would immediately follow the Monterey. The photo is from the Pomona Public Library:

This is a photo of a Victory Theater in California, from the Pomona Public Library. I don’t think it’s the one in Hanford, but it doesn’t sound like the one in Santa Barbara, either. I guess we’ll never know.
