  Springfield Little Theatre -
The Landers Theatre was built in 1909, by John and D.J. Landers and R.W. Steward.
In 1928, the theatre became the 35th facility in the world to acquire "talkies." It continued as a movie theatre until 1970, doing double duty for a time in 1959, when the Landers was also the home of live broadcasts of FIVE STAR JUBILEE, a national NBC-TV show.
As the 21st Century approaches, the theatre is dedicated to maintaining that heritage by presenting the best of live theatre in an environment reflecting a rich past, present and future.

First, however the Little Landers had to establish the viability of their San Ysidro colony and efforts went forward in 1911 and 1912 to swell the number of inhabitants.
The unique qualities of the Little Lander experience were highlighted in the so-called "social individualism" of community life and the financial independence associated with the San Ysidro experience to be kept in mind.
