THE SAINT'S FORMER INCARNATIONS at 2nd Avenue & 6th Steet
editThe building in which THE SAINT was housed started life as Loew's Commodore, a movie/vaudeville house. While, because of its large size it might be calassified as a 'movie palace,'it was somewhat plain and followed no period or style other than it's own basically unadorned look. It was arguably the lower East Side's largest venue for movies with accompanying vaudeville. The theatre entered a period of dormancy and came to life again as 'The Village Theatre,'showcasing with separate bookings,some of the last queens of Burlesque. One of these was Blaze Starr whose finale consisted of her [scantily clothed; not nude] gyrating on aleopard covered chaize with a cloth flame, driven by an under the couch fan, 'Blaze-ing' between her legs. It was after its brief run as 'The Village,' that it became 'The Fillmore [East]. The cultural phenomenam Lenny Bruce appeared on the stage during the period of 'The Village Theatre,' and 'The Fillmore [East].'

perhaps I can be of service here
editAs a member of the club, I have a number of things which might meet the requests above. I believe there would be a copyright issue for any of their posters (the invites were usually in poster form) but I do have a unique item given to me by the last lighting designer of the club... a silver pen line drawing on black paper, no signature or copyright mark, which is an illustration of the architectural nuance of the domed space. It was made for the closing event on 1988 and that is included in this work.
I know I should look to the help pages for uploading, but honestly, I couldn't figure out how to navigate them or use the live chat. Still green. I can see this being an intellectual property issue as the Saint logo is alive and in use by the Saint at Large who this week made a t-shirt available for the next 3 weeks only, with nothing but THE SAINT in silver on a black t-shirt. If you wish, I can contact the owner.
Also, there should be additional information about the still active Saint at Large and its history. Roseland ballroom took out a full page advertisement thanking their top 25 event organizers who made it possible for them to remain open. The Saint at Large was on that list.

The Saint Foundation
editThe Saint Foundation has lots of archival information – photos, pictures of posters and invitations, reminiscences. It's a good site to browse for anyone who's interested. Also probably a good source of information for anyone who might update this Wikipedia article. Omc (talk) 16:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
