Willits, CA

For a deco theater, the Noyo Theatre is relatively unassuming. The theatre, located just off the main drag, looks to still be open.


Alameda Theatre
Alameda, CA

This fine theatre in Alameda looks like it's still in fine shape to show first run movies. Well, at least from the outside. This theatre is now home to a gymnastics center.


Hyatt Theatre
Burlingame, CA

Check out the Hyatt Cinema in Burlingame, CA and its multiple arched front. This theatre looks like it used to feature cinerama sound or some other special feature from the 60's.

The Curran Theatre in the theater district in San Francisco still shows first run performances such as the Phantom of the Opera.

The Cinema 1 Theatre no longer shows first run movies, and in fact, no longer shows movies at all.


Crystal Theatre
Salinas, CA

The same here with the Crystal Theatre in Salinas. No shows, no attendance. Is this theatre destined for a renewal with an updated neon sign blade or is it headed for the big theatre in the sky? Time will tell.

The Del Oro Theatre in Grass Valley, CA is an art deco movie palace that looks to be undergoing restoration.

Update 08/05 : The Del Oro renovation is proceeding apace. The tower neon was relit with considerable fanfare recently. The mural repainting is up for bid and should be done in the next few months. Many thanks to Ed Martin for update 08-05


California Theatre
Berkeley, CA

Here's a classic sign for the California Theatre located in Berkeley, CA. Looks like this theatre is also showing first run movies at this time.
