October 19th, 1949 grand opening ad in photo section
Memories. My dad was one of the construction workers when The Bel-Art was added.
As a child I could see the flashing “Belmont/Bel-Art” sign from my bedroom window. The sign was high enough to stick up over the buildings on El Camino and Old County Road.
In 1964 the kids in our neighborhood filled the theater when “Hard Day’s Night” was shown. I also recall seeing “My Fair Lady” there.
The November 12, 1949, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that Blumenfeld Theatres had recently opened their new Belmont Theatre on El Camino Real. The magazine said that 900-seat house was designed by William B. David, and William W. Wolf of San Francisco was the architect (meaning Wolf probably signed his name to the permits, but David was the actual architect.)
