This must have closed later than 1957 as my family didn’t move to Westmont until 1959 and I have memories of going there for at least a few years. I specifically recall seeing “King of Kings” starring Jeffrey Hunter (1961) at the Westmont theatre. For a short while, there was a slot car racing establishment there called Motorama. It was actually pretty popular, but died out fast like all crazes eventually do. It was a great hangout even if you didn’t have a slot car as they played top 40 music and had vending machines for snacks. I probably spent more money at the Raikes store there than anywhere else in town.
