I just came across this site by accident and am intrigued and delighted by the comments. I was a frequent customer when the theatre was in its “gay” incarnation. Aside from viewing many a film there, I also saw all of the live “male” shows which were produced a year or two before the business’s demise. I have many fond memories of the place— which I’ll post later— and I also have a recording of the Century’s “farewell” phone message which I could transcribe and post, too. It’s quite interesting and includes, as I recall, comments about the “anti-gay” LAPD of that era (I guess things are a bit better now, perhaps).
