I was 10 years old in 1940 and I remember what a treat it was to attend the Norka every Saturday afternoon. My mother would drop me off and pick me up because the audience was almost all loud noisy kids. For a dime, you could buy a sack of penny candy and a sack of popcorn. What fun! I loved “Flash Gordon” serials the most! My dad worked at the Good Year Plant across the street for 15 years. The Rialto Theater was just up the street and my mother and I attended many double features and then my dad would meet us to walk together after his shift. At one time, the theater turned on the lights and allowed the audience to play “WhaHoo” like Bingo. I won a radio two different times. The Good Old Days! I also saw the Ink Spots at the Rialto.
