The Royal Theater was on water street in the south end. In 1955 I would go there and pay 10 cents to watch 2 movies and a serial and cartoon. It was a small theater on one level. The Orpheum Theater was only 3 businesses away on the same side of the street. If you went to the Orpheum, you needed to walk up several steps to get to the concession and movie seating. It was a much nicer theater than the Royal.
I was a freshman at Rockhurst College in September of 1963. I went to the Isis to see some guy by the name of James Bond in the film Dr.No. And so it began. I have fond memories of Rockhurst College and the many friends that I made there. Also loved the Saturday night steak night in the schools dining facility. It was the best steak I had ever eaten, and in a school cafeteria yet.
