When I was a boy, in the 60s, we went to the matinees here often. I remember seeing Sound of Music and the crowd going wild, kids throwing popcorn and candy wrappers, during the kissing, Matrons running down the aisle yelling. At the time the theater seemed so old and run down that we joked that George Washington saw his first movie there. But it was a lovely old building that was better appreciated once the mall was the only place left to go.
