Here are a few names from the opening.
Boxoffice, Oct. 14, 1950: “Elsinore, Calif. - Beginning operations here was the new 830-seat Lake Theatre, built by Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Scott and Mrs. Nelle Jackson, operated by E. D. Patterson and managed by Mrs. Florence Lynch. Utilizing the latest RCA sound and projection systems, the Lake also features a smoking room, a cry room for children, air conditioning and heating, and paved parked areas adjacent to the theatre.”
The Lake briefly appears in the 1975 Jonathan Demme film Crazy Mama. The scene is set in 1958 and the marquee shows Vertigo and Man of the West. I’ve posted a composite image made from several frames since the shot panned down and across it.
