1908 -  A theatre list from that year's "Cameron's Guide to San Francisco." Thanks to Kevin Walsh for posting the image of a page from his grandfather's copy of the book on the BAHT Facebook page.

The Colonial on McAllister was later known as the President. The Lyric at 24th & Mission is a mystery. Perhaps another name for either the Globe or Star, both evidently on the same block. The Alcazar, at Sutter & Steiner is the theatre later known as the Uptown. The New Orpheum, which they list as on O'Farrell near Fillmore, was actually on Ellis St. (but indeed in the Fillmore district). It later was a legit house known as the Garrick. And that Columbia Theatre under construction wasn't quite at Van Ness and Geary -- it later became the Geary Theatre.

1908 - A "Places of Amusement" list that appeared in the January 23 issue of the Examiner. Thanks to Jack Tillmany for locating it. He comments: "Of course there are the old familiar faces we know so well, but also a few new ones: Interesting how many cafes also offered live entertainment and were also considered as 'Places of Amusement.' Motion Picture venues of note: Bijou: 538 Montgomery Ave., later known as the Bell -- Bijou: 227 Church, later known as (another) Electric -- Pioneer: 1146 Market, address not clear, 1908-1909 -- Pioneer #2: 123 Third Street -- Grand: 442 Hayes." 

1912 - Thanks to Bob Ristelhueber for this list from a guidebook. It was a post on the BAHT Facebook page.

The American later became the Embassy, the Columbia is still around as the Geary, the Empress was later the St. Francis, the Pantages listed was later a Kress store -- the new one (now the Orpheum) didn't open until 1926. The Wigwam was later the Crown and Cine Latino. 

1916 - An April 9 Hearst-Vitagraph ad from the Jack Tillmany collection.  

1929 - A list from that year's from the Film Daily Yearbook. Thanks to Bob Ristelhueber for posting it on the BAHT Facebook page.

1939 - A list from the "1939 Famous Guide to San Francisco and the World's Fair." Thanks to Terry Koenig for posting it on the San Francisco Remembered Facebook page.
