This picture hails from the mid-50s, I believe. The Alvin went to burlesque in ’41, was sold to the evangaelists in ’53, but returned to bump-and-grind for a while in the mid-50s before it was purchased and remodeled. This picture probably hails from the post-chuch period.
That’s two names so far. Was there a third? |
