"Maidens of Fetish Street"

We get this great look up the vertical sign at the Follies, 337 S. Main St., in "Maidens of Fetish Street" (Cameo Pictures, 1966). The film is also known as "Girls on F Street." Our narrator says "After a burlesque stripper arouses his 'tormented desires,' Nick heads for The House of Fetish - where his idea of romance is to have a hooker pour molasses & ants over his head."

Head to the Follies Theatre page on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more photos of the 1904 vintage theatre, initially called the Belasco.

Another Follies vertical sign view. But this time we're looking out the window at the Burbank Theatre, 548 S. Main. Yes, at times they both had verticals saying "Follies."  That neon above the readerboard would alternate between "Burlesque" and "Burbank."

A fine view of the signage of the Art Theatre, 551 S. Main St. See the Art Theatre page for more about the theatre, opened in 1918 and demolished in the 80s.

A peek at the entrance of the Galway, 514 S. Main St. See the Los Angeles Theatres page on the Galway Theatre for more about the venue.

A big thanks to Nathan Marsak for including these screenshots from the film in his Noirish Los Angeles post #29000. Visit Something Weird Video for more about the film.
