I just discovered this site and it evokes such fond memories of the mid 1950’s when I spent numerous Saturday afternoons of my childhood at the Allen theater. I recall the matinee double features, and the live vaudeville/clown acts between the films. Also, the popcorn machine that dispensed a small bag of popcorn for 10 cts. It’s a shame that modern civilization inevitably destroys the landscapes of our youth, and all we are left with is our memories.
