Iris theater back in the late 40’s early 50’s was the the place to go if you wanted to see a risque movie . It was also the hangout for local pan handlers to take a nap or sleep off a drunk. My mom used to work across the street at Columbia Dry Goods, so I got to know it quite well; sneaking in to watch steaming scenes of intimacy (TV14 by today’s standards). The place wreaked of stale cigarette smoke, and various unpleasant body odors.
