April 15 in Los Angeles



A One-Night-Only 'SOME LIKE IT HOT' Movie Screening & Stageshow 

A one-night-only 'SOME LIKE IT HOT' movie and live burlesque-style stage
show will take place on Saturday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the historic
Orpheum Theatre at 842 S. Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. 

The live burlesque revue will include a rare appearance by 74-yr-old
stripper Dixie Evans, who in the 50's was promoted as 'the Marilyn Monroe of
Burlesque' and is 'coming out' of retirement to briefly revive part of her
original stage act for this fundraising event. 

(Evans was actually sued by Monroe's attorneys, but her career 

perservered). 

Other performers will include the band CAFE R & B, magicians, jazz dancers
and the team 'Lipstick & Lashes' (featuring precision bullwhip artist Brian
Chic who will actually pick off his female partner's Salome outfit with the
tip of his whip). The evening will be capped with a screening of a 35mm
ARCHIVAL PRINTof the Billy Wilder 1959 film classic 'SOME LIKE IT HOT'
starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon. Proceeds from this event
will go toward restoring the Orpheum Theatre's historic vertical sign. For
