Chuck….Your intro is right on the money. One of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club‎s is located in this building.

From the photo one of the two theatres was more than likely the Gayety, the Gayety was at 405 E. Baltimore and the Embassy was at 415 E. Baltimore and it looks like there are two theatres in the photo.

From LIFE Photo Archives, 1944; is that the Baltimore Gayety in the far background?

I went by it in the 1950s but never went into it. It was a typical Burley theater of that period. Very popular with sailors ! The entrance was brightly lit and rather garish. The nearby area was honky-tonk. I’m fairly certain that it showed movies in between stage shows at that time.
