    The Sierra Theatre, Susanville, CA.  Opened in the 1930's.
    One of many on my "to re-shoot" list, the Fox Theatre in Centralia, WA opened in 1930 and recently was restored to it''s original look.  When I visited this theater in 2010, the owner gave me a tour and told me that the colorful marquee is going to come down because of the impending restorations, and because the city of Centralia didn't appreciate the recent colorful paint job on the 50's or 60's style marquee.  Sure enough, it came down in the summer of 2011.  The new marquee went up in 2013.
    Apparently, Buffalo Bill really did visit the city on September 14, 1910.  The lady who gave me the tour told me these murals were painted by a young lady in the 1970's.
