The July 20, 1917 issue of Southwest Builder & Contractor had a notice saying that architect Peter W. Ehlers of San Bernardino had prepared plans for alterations and expansion of the Temple Theatre there. The estimated cost of the project was $15,000.

The Temple Theatre opened with motion pictures on November 19, 1909. It rewired for sound to stay relevant continuing into the television era. It was reopened as the short-lived Capri Theatre on August 18, 1959 and repositioned as an art house playing “Henry V” for Fox West Coast Theatres. The art policy was discontinued in March of 1960 and the theatre became a grind house with double-features playing continuously. The theatre losed permanently on July 4, 1960 with “Alias Jesse James,” “Pork Chop Hill” and an edited version of the Johannson v. Patterson prize fight. The theatre was then razed for a parking lot.

The Temple Theatre had a very brief afterlife as the Capri Theatre, which operated as an art house for a short time in late 1959 and early 1960 (undated article.)
