For a tremendous trip down memory lane all you old movie theater fans must read the hilarious short story called “Leopold Doppler and the Great Orpheum Gravy Boat Riot” by the legendary Jean Shepherd from his book “In God We Trust-(All Others Pay Cash)”. Available at Amazon.
I saw a lot of movies for free especially at the Renel, Erlen, Esquire but only the last half hour. In my youth (late 50’s) the doors would be opened near the end of the film for people to leave and of course there would be no one there to ask for a ticket. I constructed the earlier part of each film from my imagination.
Saturday afternoon matinee for kids at the Renel was sheer madness.
20 cartoons plus yo-yo contest and then a quality flick like Superman Meets the Mole Men.
