Hey ChrisB I think you mean the Starland on 2624 N. Broadway.
Daly Theatre was named North Broadway Theatre and now it’s a 99 cents only store. Inside you can see the balcony but it’s away from the street.

I frequent this store sometimes. Right when you pass the front doors you can see on each side stairs that lead up to the balcony. I remember as a kid we use to go upstairs for addtional shopping but now it’s all limited to the ground floor.

I remember watching the first run Kung Fu movies there. At xmas time the local boy’s club would have it for a day for their holiday program. That’s when Monty Hall would make his appearance.

True, Huggy Bear is still visible. It used to be the place of the Huggy Bear Show by radio station KRLA. I went there in the 70s. It was like American Bandstand.
