"Everybody's Girl"

We spend lots of time at the Follies Theatre, 337 S. Main St., in "Everybody's Girl" (Broadway Roadshow Attractions, 1950). The film was directed by Lillian Hunt, who managed the shows at the theatre. The film, also known as "Hollywood Peep Show," stars Gay Dawn, Mary Andes and a dozen other dancers, singers and comics from the Follies.

See the page about the Follies Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for many photos as well as a history of the building. It opened in 1904 as the Belasco and was demolished in 1974.

The film is available from Something Weird Video. Their notes:

"A 'Streamlined and Thrill-Packed' Roadshow Attraction 'with a Whirly Girly Cast of 40,' 'Everybody’s Girl' commences with dutiful warbling by CHARLIE KRAFT and a bevy of beauties to start the hat-raisin’ action. There’s a snappy little number by a spicy little gal in sequinned bolero, and comedy routines (courtesy LEON DeVOE, HARRY ARNE, and BOBBY FAYE) with all the subtlety of a one-eyed bull in a China shop.

"Then there’s DIANE, 'The Glamour Girl of Burlesque.' No false advertising here... Wow! Just wait till you see this bountifully-built blonde beauty! Why, her casabas have more bounce in ’em than fresh tennis balls, her grinds cut a swatch wider than a roto tiller, and her bumps (originating somewhere in the earth’s molten center) pack wallops of volcanic proportions! And how ’bout LEONORA, our acrobatic dancer, with more r.p.m.’s than a crop dusters prop; ALBERTA, a compact little cutie; and MARY ANDES, who does a Turkish twist. (With a babe like this in your harem, one wife’s enough!)

"There’s SYLVIA, a tall, tantalizing teaser -- just how much can those strip nets hold? -- providing more monumental upheavals than pretty PAT O’CONNELL. (She’s not even mentioned!) And our star, 'Gorgeous, Curvaceous': GAY DAWN, a gal with so much vim and vinegar, she even does bumps and grinds standing on her head! Incredible!...If you don’t have high blood pressure already, you will after ogling this humdinger! From a 35mm 'Merry-Musical-Melange' print. -- David Cary, A Bit of Burlesque, A Brief History of Its Times and Stars."
