Late Monday night I was going over the Mystery Photo 1959 Tiki Bar thread and looking up loosely related images from the movie The Lady From Shanghai. In a collection of stills from the movie I saw this picture which apparently is outside the Sunsing Theatre. Later that night I dreamed I was in San Francisco circa 1950, driving a big car and dressed very similarly to our friend here: I parked my car in the parking lot of the Sunsing Theatre. I was with a gal who was wearing a strapless evening dress that was silvery gray and covered in fringe. As she got out of the car I noticed the dress reminded me of a hula skirt. We headed to the entrance of the Sunsing and saw there was a group of men in suits outside. The owner of the Sunsing, an Asian American woman dressed in Chinese style red silk, and some of her staff, all large men in suits, were keeping the group of men from entering. I realized the men the owner was confronting were all members of an organized crime gang that was a rival to the gang I was in. The owner of the Sunsing Theatre was firmly explaining to the men that though she welcomed their business on weekends they were not allowed in on weeknights as that was when my gang came there. The other gang were clearly not happy with this and seemed to want to make a scene but were obviously wary of having an all out confrontation with my gang. At this point I was wondering if my date and I should leave since I'd been seen by the other gang arriving in my car and I wasn't sure if it'd be in such great shape when I came out of the theater. Then some big mucky muck in my gang rolled into the parking lot. He was feared enough by the rival gang that when they saw him they decided thye'd go somewhere else. The big shot got out of his car and asked me what had been going on. I told him it was nothing. Then he asked who my date was and I introduced them realizing she would now no longer be my date.
