Patrick Angus (1953–1992), a late 20th century American painter, among many other works, created a number of oil or acrylic paintings of the interior of the Gaiety Theater and some of its dancers and customers in the 1980s.

Some of the those titles are: Grand Finale (1985), The Apollo Room I (1986), Remember the Promise You Made (1986), Slave to the Rhythm (1986), All The Love in the World (1987), Hanky Panky (1991) [1][2]

Angus's work was primarily of homosexual themed art.[3]

In popular culture

Angus is portrayed by actor Jonathan Tucker in the 2009 movie An Englishman in New York, a biographical picture about the later years of Quentin Crisp. Crisp befriends Angus in the film, and encourages him to show his work.
