I grew up in Coney Island 1950 to 1960. We went to the Mermaid every Saturday with the whole crowd of kids, We saw 2 full length features 4 or 5 cartoons and a serial & newsreel for .25 cents. Candy was a nickel a box. We would scavenge soda bottles for the deposit of .02 each for candy money, Great little theatre….Great times
