The former La Bonita Theater has been close to closing many times since its birth in 1912. Although any of its architectural character was long clapboarded over, the theater has retained a simple Moderne marquee and vertical sign. Chinese characters have also been painted on the facade.

The theater was the site of an eleven month run of “La Cage aux Folles” in 1979. Now twinned and showing mostly arthouse and foreign films, the 4-Star Theater continues to struggle, but it is a survivor.
