I used to take my sister on the bus from North Miami to the Rosetta in Little River. We paid between about $.15 and $.25 for admission. The drug store on 79th street had $.25 banana splits. My dentist was down from the Rosetta on the same side of the street, on the 2nd floor. I remember after a teeth cleaning, we got to pick a lollipop from a jar. Really! I worked at Lynn’s Fashions right down the street from the theater. Got $.75 an hour after school for cleaning up and putting out stock. This was in the mid 1950s. Yes, I am a bit older than dirt, but my mind is as sharp as a tack. Also got to hear Eddie Arnold and other performers before the show at the Boulevard Drive In Theater. Had the train, horses to ride and Easter egg hunts back then.
As an 8th grader, at the then brand new North Miami Jr. High School, Mr. Ashbacher took a lot of students to the Coconut Grove Theater to see the Glass Menagerie and other plays. It was great and I remember it to this day. This was around 1955 or 1956. It was really nice to see a teacher want to have his students expand their horizons and although a day late and a dollar short, thank you very much Mr. Ashbacher.
