El Paseo Theatre

An item in the July 19, 1935, issue of Southwest Builder & Contractor said that Clifford Balch was preparing plans for alterations to a theater in Palm Springs for Earl “Streib.” It doesn’t give the name of the theater, but as 1935 was when Earl Strebe took over this house, it was probably this one. The Palm Springs (later Village) Theatre was only three years old, and the Plaza hadn’t been built yet.
