  • <p>The Powell Theatre promoted it’s coming attractions via a pocket sized tri-fold program, available at the box office! This program is from March 1966 when the Powell had four program changes a week! It was always fun to grab one of these when you walked by the theatre and immediately check out the eclectic mix of films coming up. The Powell’s programming was generally a breath of fresh air from the more mainstream fodder of the Market Street grindhouses, not that I didn’t enjoy that as well!</p>
