Vintage ad for the Big Top Theater, which played during the New York City based Emerald City show on July 2, 1977. The Big Top Theater was part of the same conglomeration of adult establishment on the corner of Broadway and 49th Street, which included the New World Theatre, the Circus Cinema, a burlesk joint upstairs, and The Video Shack, with the Kitty Kat, Mardi Gras, and Pussycat Theatres across the street.

It’s been hard to believe that it’s been almost two full years since we’ve done a FIFTY ON FRIDAYS post. We initially thought we may have lost one or two in the hacking episode we’re still recovering from [1], but after further review of our files it turns out the last time we did one…
GUYS & DOLLS NYC – SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT
Last week on one of the NYC FB groups we lurk around in someone asked if anyone remembered a strip club from the mid-late 1970s called Guys & Dolls. Well Uncle Spicy threw a couple of the research marmosets loose in the archive and they very quickly came back with not only validation that such…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – January 15, 1971 – NEW YORK CITY
This week we’re back in New York City (surprise, surprise) and it seems to be a rather slim-pickings week, at least based on the ads (perhaps this is an indication that hotter stuff was being shown but not yet advertised). As always, enjoy.

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – December 4, 1979 – NY DAILY NEWS
Today’s edition of Fifty on Fridays we go back to New York City on December 4, 1970, which was a rather warm (for December in NY) 50 F, so I would bet the Christmas shopping was in full swing, and the tired and frustrated husbands might be sneaking away from an hours long marathon spree…

This week we’re down in sunny, and warm, Miami, Florida, and in addition to the increasingly hardcore fare on the silver screens, somewhat surprisingly vintage burlesque is still incredibly popular! We have the Place Pigalle on Collins at 22nd St, with “Sauci Comedienne” Pearl Williams (she performed for 18 years at the PP!) and Comedy…
FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – LA FREE PRESS – APRIL 2/3 1971
This week we head off to the west coast and delve into the Los Angeles Free Press, also known as the FREEP, which a paper that would eventually be almost fully consumed by sex ads. But in 1971 there was still a large amount of journalism still going on. However we’re only interested in the…
