The Valencia Ballroom opened on December 31, 1926.
It became the Valencia Theatre on March 30, 1935 with Kermit Maynard in “Wilderness Mail” (listed as a World Premiere) and Ray Walker in “City Limits” with no extra short subjects. It had an original capacity of 900 seats.
It was renamed the Times Theatre in 1938.

its amazing how alot of theaters that show X rated movies, turn into churches..
Does anyone know who owned this theater or where I might be able to get a picture of the Times? My father and his brother used to go there every Saturday in the 1940s.
The building was torn down in the early 90’s now just a vacant lot.
