Review:

The Guild Theatre was built in 1926 as a burlesque house under the name Guild Theatre, near the today's Menlo Park downtown. In the 1940's, the theatre changed its name to Guild Theatre and had its façade ‘loped off' and rebuilt when El Camino Real was widened.

Once reopened, it started featuring motion pictures. This oldest theater on the San Francisco Peninsula that is still standing is famous for two huge golden wings on both sidesof its enormous screen and funky old-fashioned decor that came from various other theatres after they were demolished. Today the Guild Theatre shows mostly independent and foreign language movies.
