The family theater of my youth and “kiddie matinee” Saturdays with the serial “comedy races” & “cliffhangers. During Lent the kiddie matinee was on Sundays. Kids got a ticket number and if the comedy race was won by the contestant with that number a small prize was given. My whole family went there some weeknights. "Havertown” was “Brookline” then but the Postal Service had a Brookline near Pittsburgh so a change was forced. For we “pint-sized” kids—Mighty Mouse was our favorite! Really a pretty ordinary movie house but only our next door neighbor had a TV. He was a TV Engineer for RCA across the Deleware River in Camden, NJ.
