When I started working, none of us had cars but would bus it home, change and bus it back to see the newest films. It was always crowded, too.

They would always ...My favorite movie theatre EVER. They would always have the latest Disney films. I remember seeing OLD YELLER and MARY POPPINS here. When MARY POPPINS opened, the line for the show went all the way to the back on the building (on both sides). Going to the movies was such an event in those days. An usher with a flashlight would guide you to your seat if you came in after the movie started. You would sit in the plush seats and when the film was about to start the house lights flashed, then went down, and a big red velvet curtain would open to reveal the screen. The ladies' room was downstairs and was plush and huge. The last movie I saw here was AIRPORT.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32099633145095864.post-11528910086728535062010-01-19T05:42:41.794-08:002010-01-19T05:42:41.794-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.com
