The Vogue was a wonderful theater. Very attractive and played first rate films. I saw my first 3d Movie “The House of Wax” there. I remember the theater well.
On Saturday mornings, time was spent at the old Rio theater on Park St. It seemed as though only B movies were shown there. Many Sat. mornings were spent there with the old Serials/Adventure(Jungle Jim/Tarzan etc.) and a load of Cartoons/and the 3 stooges being shown from early morn til late afternoon. It was wonderful then.
The Vogue Theatre is located at 2521 Santa Clara Ave. and it seated 864 people.
The architect was S. Charles Lee. The facade was/is similar to Lee’s Tower Theatre in Compton, now gone.
