When in Millbrae? Photo Contest

The Millbrae Theatre.

Some residents may not know that the Millbrae sign on El Camino Real and Chadbourne Avenue once belonged to the Millbrae Theatre. 

When the Millbrae Theater premiered in 1949, it instantly became one of the city’s main source of entertainment. The first film, “It Happens Every Spring,” starring Ray Milland and Jean Peters, was delivered by helicopter. “Bowery Bugs,” a Bugs Bunny classic, quickly followed.
