The Paramount ended it’s life as the Pussycat. Linda Lovelace performed “live” here before deciding porn was a mistake. What she did on stage remains a mystery to me.
The Paramount is listed in the 1934 Year Book of Motion Pictures as having 1509 seats.
Bryan, really nice view of Flagler Street. Bring’s back memories. The tall building with the yellow sign all the way down on the left side of Flagler is the Olympia (now Guzman Hall). I remember seeing Myra Breckinridge and The Detective at the Paramount in the 70s. The description for this theatre seems to be for the smaller Town Theatre not the Paramount.
The Paramount was updated to an Art Deco appearance in 1938 by Robert Law Weed. By the early 70s with the area changing this theatre became a bargain house with prices ranging from 75 cents until 1 and $1 until closing.
