Here's a street with two movie theaters, featured today in honor of the new possibility opened up by the closure of Market Street's Forum Theatre. This photo was taken in 1959, when a local movie theater screened a Western starring Rita Hayworth and Gary Cooper. It was a forgettable film playing in a forgettable building, in a sense, given that the theater—and the other one down the street—are very much gone by now.
Where were these movie houses?
