444 Divisadero St. | map |
Opened: Presumably 1911. The location was on the east side of the street between Fell and Oak. It was across the street from the Fairyland Theatre. At that time the street name was spelled Devisadero.
Jack Tillmany notes that the theatre was listed in the May 4, 1911 San Francisco Chronicle among the many smaller venues raising money for Children's Hospital. It's listed in the April 1, 1911 edition of the telephone directory. It didn't get a listing in the 1910, 1911 or 1912 city directories.
Closing: It appears to have been quite short-lived. Jack notes that by 1912 the location was a carpet cleaning establishment.
Status: The building the theatre was in has been demolished. There's now a gas station and car wash on the site.
More information: Jack Tillmany's Arcadia Publishing book "Theatres of San Francisco" can be previewed on Google Books. It's available from Amazon or your local bookseller.
