I saw my very first movie there with my parents, circa 1957, and it was called King of the Khyber Rifles with Michael Rennie. I also remember sitting in my Dad’s old blue Dodge in the parking lot, before a movie started (our MO was to drop off Mom in front of the box office so she could buy the tickets) and seeing Sputnik I fall from the sky.
On Saturday afternoons, of course, we rode our bikes to the BT to see the latest Elvis or Martin & Lewis movie and try to get up enough nerve to talk to the girls—still trying!
On Halloweens, there was always a special midnight show called “Spooks-a-Popping” which consisted of a movie, magic show, and other carnival tricks. I’m thinking it was just $0.15 or $0.09 for Saturday matinees or to ride the bus—can’t remember which was which!
