“In the years preceding World War I, the motion pictures were beginning to come into their own. As Rocky Point usually had the newest films, people came from miles around. It was not uncommon for chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce or Packard limousines to drive up with their passengers on a regular basis. Admission was 10 cents, but the best seats in the center aisle cost an additional nickel.” —warwickhistory.com
