I saw one of the last movies to play the Esquire it was a Vincent Price film. My shoes stuck to the carpet it was so sticky. The Esquire was torn down to make room for the the Powell St Bart Station.brucec

Also anybody have any information on: The Guild(was next to Market Street Cinema, became a Pussycat theater in late 1972, may be part of the current Market Street Cinema?), The Larkin(art house run by Walter Reade theaters, Mitchell Brothers acquired it in 1978 and switched to adult films, now is New Century strip club), and the Music Hall(was also run by Waler Reade—what is it now?)

Syufy was the last chain to run this theater.

Anybody have any information on other theaters in that area: Powell(now occupied by a Burger King), Stage Door, Crest(known under several other names, now the Crazy Horse strip club—It was next to the Warfield), Regal (showed 4 features grindhouse-style, became a porn theater around 1973, later renamed Bijou when operated by the Mitchell Brothers—Now the LA Gals strip club), and the Centre (showed adult films from the early 60’s on—What was it called prior & also what is it now?).
