California Theatre in Dunsmuir The California Theatre in Dunsmuir is a classic theater opened in 1926 that played host to movies an

The California Theatre in Dunsmuir was built in 1926 by T & D Jr Enterprises. The "California" vertical sign was identical to that made for the California (Fox) Theatre in San Jose. The 800-seat movie theater featured a Wurlitzer pipe organ (presently in Skagway, Alaska) and a vaudeville stage. Located right next to a Southern Pacific train stop where extra locomotives were added or removed to ena

ble trains to cross the Shasta/Cascade mountains, the theater was visited by most actors and actresses on promotional tours. The list includes Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, Babe Ruth, The Marx Brothers, and many more. Operated by the Naify family for over 30 years, the theater was run by various local families until 1991, when Steve Naify, grandson of James Naify (one of the original owners), bought the building and began restoration. Naify added two additional screens upstairs where the local Masonic Lodge had been conducting business for 69 years. The current owner, Mark Juarez, is committed to preserving the building's architecture, as well as renovating it and making it, once more, a vital part of downtown arts and culture.
