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,"Accessed 03/26/2014.)

The Seville was a small venue containing 520 seats at the end of its existence.

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."
