I grew up in this neighborhood in the 1950’s and 60’s and remember that the MacArthur used to show many now classic British movies of the time, like “The Mouse that Roared”. My aunt took my cousin and me there as very young boys to see a reissue of “King Kong”, and one Saturday morning a special viewing was held of the big screen version of “The Lone Ranger” starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels! It was also the site for the world premiere of the first “Star Trek” movie. Many of the cast members including Shatner and Nimoy attended. Alas, though just a few miles away, I could not leave work to be there.
