I lived in this neighborhood from around 1947 to 1963. In the 50s this was the Dorset Theatre. It had one screen and was cooled by two big fans (no AC). Admission was 20 cents for cartoons (on Saturday morning), a newsreel, and a movie (maybe even a double bill—I don’t recall). First my brother and then I worked in the candy store that was about 2 doors to the left of the theatre entrance.
