Pink and yellow light bulbs chase one another brightly across the underside of the theater’s orange neon marquee as I stand beneath it in 2013. Standing on the west side of Figueroa Street, across from the structure that housed Ford’s newly consolidated company called “Flagship," I glimpsed two figures sparring on the other side of a large front window.[i] In addition to the former Kim Sing Theatre at 722 N. Figueroa, Ford’s mixed-use compound now also includes a gym called Strong Sports, a strange and somewhat unsettling backdrop to contemplate events that took place at this exact location in June of 1943.
