I have a color photo of the exterior of the El Rey, circa 1950. How can I upload the photo to the site?
Thanks,

Growing up in Salinas in the 40’s and 50’s I remember the Vogue theater well. It was the local outlet for films from Universal Studios, and also showed lots of westerns, usually double-bills with Roy, Gene, and Lash LaRue.

The best thing about the Vogue was the popcorn! There was a large popcorn popper located to the left of the main entrance, with an outside window to serve walk-up customers on the sidewalk! You didn’t have to endure those movies to enjoy their wonderful, buttery popcorn!
