It looks like some newer houses have been built on the even side of Frankford in the 2900 block. No trace of any theater.

The phillyhistory.org site places this 1961 photo at N. 7th and Girard. It looks like there is a Girard Theater at that spot, but it’s hard to tell exactly.

Here are photos from 1982 and 1984. The theater is in Beverly Hills, not Los Angeles, although the border between the two cities is about a block away.
