When I went there as a kid it cost 10 cents and later 15 cents. Even so we would try to sneak in the backdoor on Wishart Street. One kid would go in and then open the door for the rest of us. Didn’t do it too often only when we were broke.

Eich, yes the 33rd district was at Westmoreland and Front Street. I saw the inside of that place a few times, mainly for hanging out on the corner.

Wasn’t there a police station just above Allegheny Ave on Front St?

I saw “White Christmas” and “The Music Man” at The Wishart. Many more.

A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Wishart Theater in 1924.
