In 1977, Studio 54 took over a building first opened in 1927 as Gallo Opera House (254 W 54th St). It later became Casino de Paree (1933) and WPA Federal Music Theatre (1937). It was converted into a movie house for New Yorker Theatre (1939). Before moving to Ed Sullivan Theater in 1976, CBS Studio 52 was here from 1942 and hosted What's My Line? 1960-66.

Orpheum Theatre, 842 S. Broadway, downtown Los Angeles while showing vaudeville acts, August 3, 1949
Vaudeville died a long, slow death during the 1930s, especially after the Palace Theatre in New York switched to an all-movie format on November 16, 1932. So I was surprised to come across this 1949 photo of the Orpheum Theatre, on L.A.’s Broadway holding a gala inaugural premiere of a vaudeville show of “8 big acts.” Maybe it was just a novelty show with a limited run? It makes me wonder how successful it was. Perhaps by the late 1940s there was some nostalgia for the vaudeville years.
