I went to the College of Santa Fe in the mid 1960’s. We always had an ‘inside’ joke about the Lensic. The name of the theater was spelled out on the walls inside… “LEN” on the left and “SIC” on the right (as noted above). We called it the (Look quickly left and say) Len (look quickly right and say) Sic. College kids. I remember seeing Mary Poppins there with my friends and enjoying it.
I lived in Bay Terrace from 1955. My friends and I would take the Q13 bus to the Bayside theater on Sat. afternoons for many hours of entertainment and fun. One Saturday the manager/owner came over to my friend and me and asked if we would like to get in free. Of course we said yes. He had us lug the film cases from the loby area to the projection room. Up behind the balcony, up metal stairs, into the secret parts of the theater. We loved it even if it was hard work.
Popcorn, Sandwichs from home and grape soda. What a time.
