The rumor I heard was the original front of the building was intact and able to be seen from the attic space between the old and new front. I was lucky enough to have been managing the grand old house (3 kung-fu-action hits-LOL) and spent an entire day exploring the nooks and cranny’s of a very solid and beautiful building. No view of the original front was there, but many years of history was tossed around in both the attic and the basement. What a glorious place it must have been in its heyday.
The Molinari boys were always amazed that “Cigar Butt Gertz” could know which one of us threw the popcorn box. It was rumored that Gertz was a war hero with a metal plate in his head-but I have not idea if that was true.
I remember the Vogue as the last ditch effort by the boys from IATSE to convince the fine citizens of Salinas to honor a picket line. I think they had the line up for a couple of years.
