Potash and Perlmutter is a silent comedy released in 1923. The Tally's poster below is pretty washed out, but appears to say "First time at popular prices D. W. Griffith's America".

In 1924, Tally's most probably referred to Tally's Broadway Theater at 833 S Broadway.

The Tally's name was associated with several addresses, including 311 S Spring, 388 S Spring, 262 S Main (the one with all the lights), 544 S Broadway, and 833 S Broadway (Demolished in '29.)

The '23 Directory lists Thomas Tally's residence as 3014
Leaward Ave. I am aware of a "
Leeward" Avenue, currently decorated with apartments, approximately one block south of Bullocks Wilshire.

1941 -
Leeward Ave near Magnolia (
Anything but smooth sailing, if you are driving a Hudson in three feet of water.)

1951 - Leeward Ave and Westmoreland. Just as things seemed to be drying out, a broken fire hydrant.

Griffith's "America," advertised as playing at Tally's, starred Neil Hamilton. A few oldsters may remember Neil playing Commissioner Gordon in the '60s Batman series.
