As a seven to eight year old, I lived in Hollywood. It was perfectly safe for me to ride the street cars to the movies in downtown Hollywood. The Hitching Post was one of my favorite hangouts. For Thirty five cents, one could get a ticket and rent a cap pistol, and for another nickel, one could buy several rolls of caps to shoot at the screen. The place reeked of cap gun powder. In the late 40’s, there was a theater in Glendale that featured Saturday Adventure and Western movies, plus a couple of cartoons and serials. Our apartment building was more toward Vermont Blvd, right on Hollywood Blvd. We lived directly below the Planetarium.
