Dino, I used to walk by the Variety on the way to catholic school. They would have nude pictures of some of the ladies in the films, but with color or glitter stars over ther privates.

Opened as the Carlton in 1932, this Art Deco-style theater could seat around 1000. It was renamed the Surf in 1955, and a decade later reopened as the Variety. By the end of the 60s, the theater began showing adult features. It was closed in 1975, and has since been demolished. Cinema Treasures Link.

When I was 14 years old, my friend and I used to sneak into this theater by sliding down the coal chute. This entry point placed us right behind the movie screen where we had to tip toe into the seating area.
