Today’s picture is a bit of a mystery theatre. This architectural rendering comes from the 1920 Los Angeles Times, announcing a “picture playhouse” to be erected in Anaheim. The only other information provided was the builder, Head & Ingram, and the architect, E.J. Borgmeyer.

Edward J. Borgmeyer was a prominent architect in the Los Angeles area during the first half of the twentieth century, who’s theatres included the Forum, Vermont, and Ritz. However, there appears to be no record of him ever having designed a cinema in Orange County, aside from this rendering. The 1920 date also falls during a period which doesn’t match up with any known theatres for Anaheim.
Failed project that never broke ground or undocumented theatre? Any feedback would be appreciated.

This building looks like the 1920s Ingram flats on W Broadway, across the street from anaheim ice rink.
