"Sexual Misconduct Scandal and Corruption Allegations Ignite Civil War at American Legion Theater"
The Hollywood American Legion Post 43 Theater, once a celebrated venue for premieres and screenings, has become a battleground due to a secret probe into the alleged misconduct of the post's commander, Jeff Daly. The investigation found the employee's allegations to be credible, but Daly denies them and claims they were fabricated by theater staffers and a rival club leadership faction. The theater's programming and rentals have been halted, and there has been a staff exodus, including a picket by the projectionists' union. The theater's renovation and operation have been criticized for financial mismanagement, leading to a divisive battle among Post 43 members.
