I have fond memories of the Holly Theatre circa 1944, on Sunset near Echo Park Boulevard. I went everything Saturday matinee with the quarter my aunt gave me for the day. Nine cents for a ticket, a nickel carfare each way on the Echo Park red streetcar line, a nickel for JuJubes (which lasted through at least two feature films), and a penny left over for a piece of Fleers imitation Dubble-Bubble gum
(For Big Time, I would escalate the experience by going to the Ramona Theatre some blocks away.)
Where are the days of yesteryear?
