I talked to the other person that worked with me at the theater and I was wrong about the Gardena department store it was a few businesses to the west of the garden theater but the theater was not on Vermont it was midway between Vermont and Normandy on Gardena Boulevard.
I worked at the theatre from march 1955 to November 1955 that’s when it closed. That photo is not of the Gardena theater, the theater was not on Vermont it was midway between Normandie and Vermont. When it closed I think it turned into the Gardena department store. I am sending you a program that I took when I was cashier that was always in the window. I am also sending you a check stub the last one the theater issued October 22. Any other information you can email me thanks Denise Gaskell Snuffin

Minimum wage in 1955 was $.75 an hour. Notice no Social Security but old age benefit.
I have no idea why it’s upside down.
