Just happened to read on actor Earl Holliman’s Wikipedia page, that he saved his money from being an usher at the Strand Theatre, a newsboy for the Shreveport Times, and a magician’s assistant to leave Louisiana for Hollywood the first time. He came back after one week, but later tried again.

The front of this theater shows up in the 2010 comedy horror film, “Vampires Suck.”

Here’s a YouTube video of the Strand complete with music recorded of its original Robert-Morton pipe organ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVizYHjHnQ

Want to hear more live organ music at the Strand?? Contact the theatre and let them know! I and several other volunteers are ready and willing to get her back on track!
