As a child we had holiday dinners on a set of china my mother called the “Beacon” set. This is becasue she said before she and my father were married in 1941 she was given one piece of the set every time they went to the Beacon Theater by the house. She lived on 10 Street off of 36th Avenue. This may have been an opening promotion since the theater opened in June 1940. My mother’s younger sister also confirmed this and she had pieces of the set.
The china set was made by “The French-Saxon China Co, Sebring, Ohio, National Brotherhood of Co-operative Potteries, 22 K. Gold USA”. I researched the patten and I believe it is Fsx 29.
As a child my uncle took my brother and me to the Beacon and I am almost sure we saw Frankinsten or The House of Wax (and one of them was 3D with the glasses).
If anyone also knows of this china set as a promotion of the Beacon Theater, please respond.
