It should be noted that the map we display does not show the actual location of the Empire Theatre. A redevelopment project in the 1970s led to the realignment and partial obliteration of several streets. The site of the Empire was between Beacon and Palos Verdes streets, a bit west of where the Portside Inn and Suites is now located. Two other theaters operated in the near vicinity; the Star at 5th and Beacon and the New Theatre at 5th and Palos Verdes.
The Music Trade Review of April 14, 1917 said that “[t]he Wm. L. Glockner Music Co. reports the sale of a Wurlitzer orchestra, Style Y-O, to the Empire Motion Picture Theatre, San Pedro, Cal.”
