Monaco Theatre Restaurant 1947














Another souvenir photo folder from the age of night club floor shows, dining and dancing. I've done an internet search for the Monaco, and couldn't find anything specific. The date written on the front of the folder, Feb. 6, 1947 puts this image in the immediate post war years that was the beginning of the end for this type of club. Printed on the inside front cover, "When in Los Angeles--Visit the Riviera 845 North Broadway" On the back cover, ""FOR ADDITIONAL PICTURES WRITE WALLACE-ZORN PHOTOS 935 MARKET STREET, ROOM 203, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE $1.25 EACH, TAX AND MAILING INCLUDED PLEASE MENTION THE MONACO DATE AND NUMBER ON BACK OF PICTURE AND WHETHER GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL PHOTO IS DESIRED"
For another photo folder, souvenir picture go to the archives for June 15, 09. Click on Old Heidelberg.
