Letter: Put new life into Huntridge Theatre

Sunday, March 5, 2000 | 9:12 a.m.

The Huntridge corner on Charleston and Maryland Parkway looks like a natural for a burlesque theater. Having resided in and around Hollywood for more than 25 years, I know it takes more than an angel to save a landmark from doom -- certainly not by using taxpayers money.

The Strip is blessed with the House of Blues, and the Stardust secured Wayne Newton. What's missing is a vaudeville show. With property taxes rising, I would like to see comedy sketches such as "Lifestyles of our Public Servants" and "Diary of a Media Mad Mayor." The Huntridge seems to me the right place for the ambiance of the '40s. Tempest Storm, where are you when we need you?
