I remember the great days when we kids from town would be given 25 cents for admission and 10 cents for popcorn or juicy fruits and head up in a group for the Saturday afternoon matinee in the 1950’s. In the beginning of the decade there were still drawings done for prizes, you would have to walk up to the stage if you won and would claim your prize at the end of the drawing. There were literally hundreds of children there for matinee, all day cartoons were sometimes shown with no feature and there was an organ in the theater for a few years in the early to mid 1950’s but that was taken out I think by 1960 or so.
