The Seville Theatre in Chula Vista, CA, was completed in 1927. In 1940, the T.P. Huntington Circuit operated the Seville. (See the International Motion Picture Almanac, [New York: Quigley Publications, 1940], Page 701.) According to the web site, Cinema Treasures, Albert Keogh (1901-1984) and his sister, Mrs. Frank Kemp, sold the Seville in 08/1947, along with another theatre, La Paloma, that they owned in Encinitas, CA. The Seville Theatre showed films until 1955, when it closed. (See "Seville Theatre,"

Demolished. Its demolition occurred in the early 1960s, when it was replaced by low-rise-retail and office spaces. The development was known in 2014 as "380 Third Avenue."
