I grew up with the Uptown Theater. Between 1950 and 1960, spring I attended every showing on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Iloved the serials. I bought M&Ms dfor anickel for each performance and opened them only when the movie began. I lived on 5th and seneca streets and walked each time and stayed with the repeats until 5 each time. they were the happiest days of my life. On special showing like the movies The Day the Earth Stood Still My mother let me go in the evning on a school night. On Sundays I walked home and paused at the medical building at 4th and Seneca. I stopped going when I had to attend senior high at William Penn, and I had too much homework. I oved that theater still today. Gerald Rubin, the
