glad to read more about this theater. I was named after it! My dad, who eventually wound up in the movie business himself (as a title designer), grew up in Long Beach. I visited what was left of it around 1972, still a kid back then, and have photos somewhere of myself with the marquee in the background — daylight, and it was a dusty deteriorated brown … the b/w picture on this page seems to do it more justice!
