The LA city directory lists the Wonderland Theater at 315 S. Main. Have we placed any theaters on the west side of Main between 3rd and 4th other than the Follies? If not I will add the Wonderland.

The 1967 LA city directory advertised the Optic as open from 9 am to 6 am. I guess they needed a few hours to clean up. Call 623-6434 for shows and times.
