"The Immoral Mr. Teas"

Russ Meyer's "The Immoral Mr. Teas" (Pad-Ram Enterprises, 1959) shot several scenes at the Follies Theatre, 337 S. Main St. In this shot we're along the south side of the building. That sign used to be on the storefront just south of the theatre's entrance. The film stars Bill Teas (in the eponymous role), Ann Peters and Marilyn Wesley.

A bit farther along the theatre's south exit passage, Mr. Teas encounters some company. Nathan Marsak, on his Noirish Los Angeles post # 39438, notes that the building straight ahead is the Strand Hotel. On the right it's a bit of the Hotel Westminster.

Heading back toward Main St. They're going up the fire escape into the theatre.
