I remember going there w/my sister Marianne in the 50’s. I remember the outside of the building well. What I remember most was the interior… with it’s chinese red carpeting with gold lamay trim. I remember the Roman pillars, and the loage seating, with trim work that matched the carpeting. They even brought in Sammy Davis Jr. to head a fund raiser to try to save the theatre. However it was sold to Safeway, but, there was an auction. They sold as much of the interior decor as they could before tearing it down. Perhaps the Sacramento Bee can shed some light as to what happened with the stuff they auctioned off? Perhaps there is some public record?
