The San Pedro Theatre Club

My San Pedro secret

Famous Warner Bros. star Ruby Keeler told me in 1991 that in 1933 she saw herself for the first time in 42nd Street at the Warner Grand along with Ginger Rodgers, Una Merkel and Dick Powell because there was a speakeasy across the street with a rumored tunnel that connected the movie theatre with the speakeasy. And they bought a bottle of Canadian Rum and went back across the street and sat in the first balcony dead center first row and watch themselves on screen, smoked cigarettes,drank and laughed at themselves. Without realizing it 23 years later I open the San Pedro Theatre Club right over the top of that amazing Hollywood/San Pedro secret. Come to find out that the building we currently occupy is called The Warner Plaza built by Jack Warner. One day soon I hope to make the basement back into the secret speakeasy and feature 1920s/1930s musical acts much like the famed Cotton Club.
