Back in the mid 40s, my brother and I used to be taken to the Lil almost every Saturday afternoon. The theatre was filled with kids who got to watch, not only 2 full-length pictures (one always was a western) but also a continuing serial. So our parents had at least a 3 hour reprieve, and we had our enjoyment.

The vertical sign and marquee of the Lil can be seen to the right just behind the streetcar at http://davesrailpix.com/cwt/htm/cwt221.htm

The Lil had its auditorium converted into warehouse space for the liquor retailer next door. A friend of mine who worked at the store took me in back to show what remained, which wasn’t much.
