Does anyone remember an all-male adult theater in LA in the 80s?

[Pepper Young]

Back in the early 80s or so (yes, I am that old), I went to my first all-male adult porn theater in Hollywood. I want to say it was on Normandie or Vermont right on the corner of a residential neighborhood. It was an old time single screen theater with a box office out front. I saw some classic all-male porn by old studios like Nova and Catalina and HIS. Anyway, I've become obsessed by trying to remember the name. Anyone in LA at that same time? Little help?

I like these "memories" threads. Retro porn, old street action, trade. Back when things were a bit edgy, but not yet commercial and selfish.

Could it be the Hollywood Century theatre? Normandie Ave / Hollywood Blvd? Closer to the Los Felix part of Los Angeles.

Nights in Black Leather and That Boy. I was infatuated with Peter Berlin when I was young.

I remember going there on a trip to LA. There was a glass window in the men's room door. Cruising seemed to be discouraged. I just can't remember the name.

I think that describes all of the area around las palmas and Selma street... one big open air porn theater back then~

Thanks, @Antonio1981 for the link and research. I looked on Google Maps and it's now a parking lot. I was just a horny 17 or 18 year old when I first stepped into that theater and I was in gay porn heaven. For good or bad, that era is gone with the wind.
