I went as a kid to the Hollywood to see The Beatles' “A Hard Days Night” when it first came out in 1964. I was only 8 years old but was with my older brother and his friends. The line snaked around several downtown blocks and we stood in line for hours. Once we finally got a seat inside the packed theatre and the movie started, the screams of the girls in the audience completely drowned out the sound and I never heard any of the movie. Wasn’t until later when we saw the movie again that we got to hear it too. That was quite a day made all the more memorable taking place at a grand old theatre in the middle of city!
This theater is where I first watched “The Godfather” in 1972.
Our go-to theater when I was a kid in Hurst, Texas in the 60s.
