We get a look at the Fox Ritz Theatre, 5214 Wilshire Blvd., near the end of its life when it was called the American in I. Robert Levy's "Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses?" (National American Films, 1977). The film is a collection of sexually suggestive skits featuring Jeff Doucette, Vic Dunlop, Patrick Wright and Walter Olkewicz.

Thanks to Marc Edward Heuck for the screenshots. They were a post on the Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation Facebook page.
See the Los Angeles Theatres page about the Ritz Theatre for more about the building. Now gone, it was a 1926 design by L.A. Smith for West Coast Theatres.
