Two
shots of the Gayety. This was a former burlesque theater where some of
the biggest names in both stripping and comedy played. Abbott & Costello,
Phil Silvers, Jackie Gleason and Red Skelton performed here, as well as
Gypsy Rose Lee, Sally Rand and Blaze Starr. The ornate facade is all that
remains of the original theater after a fire in 1969 gutted the building.
As you can see, it's now a porn shop. Larry Flynt recently bought the
Gayety and will open a Hustler Club in it.
