Young people today will be surprized to know that I went to the theatre on Saturdays for 5 cents. A nickel that is. I saw a regular movie of Tom Mix, William S. Hart or another western star of the day. Also, I saw a cartoon or comedy, a Pathe News and a serial called the Green Archer. All of this for only 5 cents. Popcorn was 5 cents for a big sack and a huge dill pickle was only 5 cents also. Some women wore hats to the theatre (not to the Saturday matinee). By the way, the refreshmnents were available only at a small shop next door to the theatre and not in the theatre itself. I find it hard to realize I go that far back. I must be getting old. |
