This is from the Arcadia Tribune in February 1932:

Fortune may return to this famous old theater on February 15 for on that evening “Shining Blackness” will open the Broadway theater with Lucille La Verne as the star, Helene Millard being among the supporting cast. The play is by Lulu Vollmer and Arthur Collins is the producer which means a fine production will be offered Los Angeles playgoers.

Miss La Verne has not been starred locally since “Sun Up” when she gave a memorable performance. It is to be hoped good fortune will perch on the banners of the old Mason Opera house, which has been closed for many weeks.

Here is a February 1924 article from the Janesville Daily Gazette:

YEGGS FOILED AGAIN AT THEATER

Theater robbers lost out again Sunday night in their second attempt in two weeks in Janesville, when the box office of the Myers theater was entered between 5:15 and 6 p.m. and a flash-light stolen. Had it not been for precautions taken by the ticket seller, Ray Cullen, the intruders might have been $200 to $300 to the good, but Cullen took the money with him when he went to lunch. Entrance was gained through a rear exit and the door into the box office was broken open. Two weeks ago, yeggmen cracked the safe at the Beverly theater but got nothing, as the week-end receipts had been deposited in another safe.

The first comment for this theater notes its demolition for an office tower. There’s no trace of the theater building currently. Status should be closed/demolished.
