I attended many movies at this theater as a child. Believe it or not, movies were 25 cents originally and later rose to 50 cents (much to our horror). The Booker T, the Lincoln and the Downtown Theater balcony were the only three Mobile Theaters that blacks could go to during my childhood due to segregation laws at the time. The Lincoln Theater was several blocks down the street from the Booker T.
