As someone graduating from high school in 1958 I would qualify as one whom frequented the ‘Ranch House’ during its hay-day as described above. It was “raunchy” but that only added to the fun of viewing ‘non 1st run’ fare.
I grew up in White Plains and went to the Colony often while visiting my grandmother who lived around the corner on Court St. It was while viewing “Shane” starring Alan Ladd and Jack Palance that I was bitten by the ‘wanting to make movies’ bug. As it turned out I did go to Hollywood and got a job in the Industry working as a sound rerecording dubbing mixer. It was a wonderful 40 year ride and it all started at the Colony while watching “Shane”.
