Here is another theater in Whittier which I don’t think is listed. The theater was originally called the Wardman, then later on became a Pussycat Theater. Its current status is unknown. The theater was in Whittier, somewhere.

What is the inevitable fate of an forgotten theater?

1) Third rate horror movies

2) Adult films

3) Church
