Another Four Theatres in a Row. In the distance on the right the Telenews, then the Esquire, the Warfields and Paramount Theatres. The Telenews ran newsreels and travelogues and such like THIS IS RUSSIA! from 1957 as can be read on the marquee (in my original hi-res scan). The Warfield is still open today for performance arts and live concerts. The Kress Variety Store used to be the Pantages Vaudeville Theatre.
