"Peeper"

We get an interesting angle on the marquee of the Globe Theatre, 744 S. Broadway, in the Peter Hyams film "Peeper" (20th Century Fox, 1976). In the film the Globe is a burlesque theatre. On the right, a bit of the May Co. at 8th & Broadway.

There's a bit of the facade and marquee of the Tower Theatre in this shot as spoiled heiress Natalie Wood and a kidnapper head north on Broadway to go inside the Globe Theatre.

Natalie and her kidnapper getting tickets at the Globe.

We get more of the Tower's vertical in this shot as private eye Michael Caine is down the block running toward the Globe in "Peeper." He's on the trail of the abducted looking for the abducted heiress and her kidnapper.

A Globe entrance view. 

A rare view of the Globe lobby during this period  as Michael Caine dashes in from Broadway.

Caine runs up to the balcony and looks down on a show.

Looking down on the stage. Sadly, we don't get any good auditorium shots in the film. 

Back downstairs, he heads down the house right side aisle to check out the action from the orchestra pit.

In the orchestra pit (still uncovered in 1976!) with Michael Caine and a burlesque show drummer. 

A performer onstage.

A look toward the stage from the first row at Michael Caine and Natalie Wood. The other gentleman is the manager, who has been chasing Caine around the theatre telling him he needs to buy a ticket.

See our pages on the Tower Theatre for a history of the 1927 vintage film palace along with hundreds of photos. The Globe Theatre pages will give you a detailed tour through all the areas of this 1913 vintage legit house.
