Tom Davidson is correct. The Rosemead Theatre was located a few hundred feet east of Rosemead Blvd., on the north side of Valley Blvd. I viewed many movies on its screen during the mid-1940s. Television in the late 1940s killed its business, as it did that of many small town theatres, but it was a lingering death. The Rosemead theatre building was turned into a Jax Market.

Fletcher Aviation business park didn’t affect the theatre’s business during my time as that large land area was the Rosemead Airport. The Rosemead airport catered to small aircraft as did Alhambra snd El Monte airports.
