I’ve heard of theatres giving away dishes on certain weeknights in the 30s, 40s, even the 1950s. This caught my eye and surprised me: From the Chicago Tribune movie listings on Saturday, April 1, 1939: CRAWFORD 19 S. Craw. “STAR REPORTER” “NEXT TIME I MARRY” 3 CREAM SOUPS FREE At One Time to Ladies Paying Evening Price.

If memory serves me the CRAWFORD theater was renamed the NATIONAL in the 60s showing low budget spanish & kung-fu type movies.
Does anyone agree with me.

The organ was a 1913 Wangerin from Milwaukee, WI.

I worked around the corner on Madison St. in the late 60’s and remember that this theater had gone to Spanish-language features by then. I even took in a Mexican vampire flick there once. Fun is fun, no matter what the language.
