It opened on January 24, 1941, and was leased and operated by Joseph Moritz and James H. Nicholson in the 1940s.

The theater was built by general contractor Joe DeBell, and had a soundproof "crying room", where mothers could take their noisy children and watch the movie without disturbing other patrons. The theater was remodeled in 1968 after the Loews chain purchased it and financed the upgrade valued at $100,000. The theater closed on September 5, 1983, and an appliance store opened in the space thereafter. The art deco building was destroyed in the Los Angeles riots of 1992. (en)
