History
Fox Cabrillo Theatre was designed by Meyer and Holler and built between 1922 and 1923. It opened on November 15, 1923 with a capacity of 1,518. The building, which was two stories in height, also contained commercial storefronts on the first floor and offices on the second.[1][2]
The theater, which originally showed vaudeville and silent films, was wired for sound in 1928. It also contained an organ that rose out of the floor.[1][2][3]
The theater closed on August 13, 1957, its last screening a double feature of Gun Glory and Man on Fire. The building was demolished the following year and replaced by a parking lot.[4]
