This photo of the Pantages Theater was taken in 1931 when Paramount’s “Tarnished Lady” starting Tallulah Bankhead was playing. Look at that packed marquee. You saw not only the movie, a newsreel, and a Mickey Mouse cartoon, but you were also treated to a Fanchon and Marcos show with the Slim Martin Orchestra. In the 30s and 40s, this brother and sister team put on pre-show live extravaganzas that would feature up to 48 dancers. At their peak, they were putting on up to 52 of these productions a year. I sure wish someone had thought to film them!
