By the 1950s the brothers were working together; in 1957, they created “Les Poupées de Paris,” a “topless” puppet revue, “à la the Folies Bergère,” which opened at the Gilded Rafters, a new, Las Vegas-style restaurant and theater in the San Fernando Valley and played later at Hollywood’s P.J.’s.

He came out of the day unscathed, but from that moment on Ophelia worried often about P.J.’s safety.

I want to tell her I saw her receipt to P.J.’s in the refrigerator, stuck to the empty carton of orange juice.

“That means we gotta go to P.J.’s and stock up.”

I know why he says it, cuz it matches what I’m thinking: We ain’t gettin’ candy at P.J.’s anymore.
