Known as pioneers of "popular-priced vaudeville" in Southern California they also had a "Unique-O-Scope" which ran movies at the theater. Interestingly enough among the listed performances the program also highlighted several features of the building itself. Asbestos fire curtains fireproof scenery and automatic sprinklers were followed by a sketch of the floor and the assertion that per the Unique's efforts ".against fires and panics.the entire eighty feet of width of the building back of the stage can upon a moment's notice be opened up to the sidewalk and full width of the street running back to the Theatre thus insuring complete safety of all patrons of the Unique." The program contained several advertisements for local businesses as well including one for the Imperial Perfume Company stating that the theater was perfumed every day by the latter. The theater was moved to a new location in 1909 and its building was demolished. By the Proprietors unknown books
