Opened: Sometime around 1912. It”s listed in the city directories as the Navarro Theatre from 1914 through 1918. The address is sometimes listed as at 738 — such as in the 1917 and 1918 directories. This card of the theatre as the Navarro (with the name across the entrance arch) is the only photo to surface so far. It”s on the site Worthpoint where they note that we”re seeing:“.. a large group gathered outside the Navarro Theatre on Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles around 1914. A large banner in front reads: “We Show The Best – Mary Pickford, The Sweetheart of the Stories, in Lena and the Geese.” A picture banner hangs below that. A photo finishing studio can be seen next to the theatre, most likely the studio that took the photo with the credit “F.E. Parret, 738 W. Pico” written in negative.””Lena and the Geese” was a June 1912 release. Thanks to Joe Vogel on Cinema Treasures for spotting the card. Glen Norman comments: “This street light was Llewellyn Iron Works” “Pico” model. From what I”ve been able to piece together, they lined Pico Blvd. from Main Street West to Vermont Avenue. None survive; they were all pulled-out in the early 1950s.”In the 1922, 1923, 1927 and 1929 city directories it”s called the Pico Theatre. In 1925 it was listed as the New West Pico Theatre. In 1926 it”s the New Pico Theatre. Then it”s back to just being the Pico Theatre. Seating: 525
