In the 1950’s my sisters, Jerry & Shirley Wallace worked at the Cobb & when I was about 5 yrs. old they started taking me with them to see the movies & then Sharky, the bellhop would help me cross the street to play in the park by myself. My sister could see me from the ticket booth. Boy was that a different world! Does anyone remember Sharky or know anything about him?

Talked to one of my sisters & she says it was owned by the Martin chain of theaters.
No, it does not still exist. It was torn down in the 50’s.
It was located on the corner of Clay St. & Fairground St. in Marietta. Two of my older sisters worked there in the early 50’s.
