Every Saturday as a kid. “Jason & the Argonauts”, “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad” and 25 cent popcorn with the possibility of that free pass somewhere in the box. No better memory.
One of the most enjoyable film experiences I had was watching “Paris, Texas” in the smallest theater on a weekday afternoon. I was the only patron in what amounted to my own private screening room.

1959: “Ben-Hur”, then across 65th street to Nelson’s Restaurant for some strawberry pie.

Fondly remembered. Lived and worked in Northfield, 1972-1975 and saw “The Way We Were”, “Three Days of the Condor"and others here.
Martin & Lewis…by far the most successful live act at the time…played the house in the early 50s and were a sensation.
Correction: This theater was known as the “El Lago.”
