Soooo...do you have a theory, or are you just stimulating discussion? :)
Red is a very symbolic color, so the choice of it for the knees is curious....is it this?:

The recent media totally missed out on the phallic connotations of the word and the figure "Tiki" - and that the theater logo one is sporting his own. But then, the whole frickin' sign and building are red, which might have avery basic reason:

"Red is still commonly associated with prostitution. Prostitutes in many cities were required to wear red to announce their profession, and houses of prostitution displayed a red light. Beginning in the early 20th century, houses of prostitution were allowed only in certain specified neighborhoods, which became known as red-light districts."
