I’m assuming that Gary, or someone else, has set the Google street view to the correct location of the (still standing) Greenfield Theatre. The building certainly looks like a former theater, with the wide entrance now closed up. As the flanking storefronts display the addresses 237 and 241, the theater must have been at 239 El Camino Real. The zip code is 93927.

The theater’s auditorium appears to have been fenestrated and divided into a couple of retail shops, entered from the side of the building. One is an ice cream parlor and the other sells drinking water. Ah, California.

The theatre was also known as the Circle, in 1951.

The theatre still stands. It has long been used for retail. For a time, a karate studio operated in the former auditorium.

The facade still looks like a theatre. The marquee and any signage are long gone, but the stucco streamlined ribbed or fin motif which once backed the sign is still there.

It is listed as operating in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook.
