We see the Galway Theatre, 514 S. Main St., several times in the pilot episode for the TV show "Starsky and Hutch" (Spelling-Goldberg, 1975). The pilot gives us quite a tour of other downtown Los Angeles locations as well.
Back again at night -- this time to meet an informant.
Our two leads watching a bit of the show.
The informant arrives.
Leaving the theatre. See the page on the Galway Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about this now-vanished grindhouse. The
building it was in is still there, in use as a community services agency with
offices downstairs and housing upstairs.
In the show's pilot we go by both the back and front of the Regent Theatre, 448 S. Main St., several times. Here we're looking south across Winston St. See the pages about the Regent Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of the venue along with photos inside and out.
That space with the unpainted white signage a couple storefronts this side of the Regent would soon be the Main Theatre, 438 S. Main.
