I remember attending in the late ‘60 or early '70, a Dracula movie at the Strand. I don’t recall the name of the movie. Any ideas where I can obtain a listing of movies shown at the Strand during the above time frame? I remember going to the Strand from the early '50 until I moved out of Redondo in the mid '60. I also attended the Fox Redondo.

I remember The Strand quite well. I used to live a block north of the theater from about 1945 to 1962 or so. I remember going to the free matinees held on Saturday afternoon that was sponsored by some furniture store, Mc-something or another. I remember the boos and catcalls the kids made when it was announced the sponsorship was over and there was to be no more free movies. The matiness usual started with cartoon/newsreels and an movie. My last attendance was seeing Count Dracula just before 1970 at the rear of the theater.
