Tumbleweed Theater, El Monte, California, 1939

Tumbleweed Theater, El Monte, CA, 1939And the winner of the “L.A. Theater That Least Looks Like A Theater” goes to The Tumbleweed in El Monte.

With an exterior like that, you’d think they only showed westerns, but the double bill that day was “Three Smart Girls Grow Up” with Deanna Durbin, and “The Streets of New York” starring Jackie Cooper.
