I recall that it was a few doors north of the Pacific Garden Mission, but cannot remember the name. I was personally in the one north of Congress, I think it was in '65 and I was sixteen. Couldn't have been more than a buck or two to get in, and as far as being underage nobody cared as long as you paid. The name was the Follies, some of the women performed to recordings, others to the house band, there was a really bad comedian, and lastly there was some old sot hawking a book that I think was titled "The White Slavery Racket". The book could have been written be the owner of the dump, detailing how he acquired the old hags working there. In it's purest form burlesque was classy, by the time I went to see it it was titillating (no pun intended) for a 16 year old but in retrospect pretty depressing for the sorry souls employed there.
