When the address is corrected per Ron Pierce’s information above, we can also add the opening year 1927, when the “New Theatres” column of the May 6 Film Daily said that “A. Molins will open the El Cajon on May 18.”
There seems to be a discrepancy for the address of the first El Cajon Theatre. The Sanborn Maps 1929 (in photo section) show the location to be 28 Magnolia Street, now 126 S. Magnolia, between Main and the Douglas. (Today town homes).
Have also added a news clipping from Daily Pacific Builders September 11, 1945, confirming the address of the first El Cajon Theatre at 126 S. Magnolia, owner Gerald Gallager.
