Hi John, It’s Michael we worked together on The Peninsula. Sorry to hear about your mom, I lost mine over 15 years ago. How’s Raylene? Ever hear from Peter?
I worked at The Laurel after the short porno run. It was a beautiful theatre and a shame to have lost it. The marquee out on El Camino Real was still in use up until the end. At one point it said, “For a good time call…” I was one of the workers who crawled up there and changed the letters and also the one who sawed off the “Tivoli Theatre” portion of the marquee! When I finally quit working there, shortly before it closed for good, the current owner wrote everyone bad payroll checks. I never was able to cash my last two! A sad ending.
I saw “The Sound of Music” at this theater in the 1960’s as a child and then I saw an X-Rated version of “Alice in Wonderland” here as an adult! Funny, sad but funny.
I worked at this cinema for years in the 1980’s. This place was home to me. I was at one time both the manager and projectionist. This theatre had a very eery feel late at night when nobody else was there except me. I often joked that it had a ghost.
