Jack – did you submit the website link? I can’t find it online.
Is this a spanish language theater? I find it referenced as Theatre Luez in a lot of Spanish yellow pages. Also, the town name suggests that it is located in a latino community or has some connection with South America.
I’d like to think that the interior survives, but if you read the data page it states: “1980 – total interior conversion to storage space” . This is a nice way of stating that the place was gutted.
My guess is that the pictures are from a long time ago.
Still open as part of the library:
