The movies would run non-stop except for a break now and then to collect donations for a charity or to await the drawing of special promotional items such as the dish sets, etc. For under a dime you would watch two features, a cartoon show, a newsreel report and a "Chapter” (that’s what Social Coin natives called the weekly serial shows) Place to be if it was raining and storming outside."
Only interior photo of the Laurier I have ever seen. Sad it had to be this one. Looks like it’s near the stage/screen area. The gentleman might have been the owner.
Saw this here!

…1938
Saw this here with knock-out sound!
In Windhoek, Namibia.
Actually, in the period AFTER that hurricane.
Unable to read the marquee.
Postcard view, 1955 circa.
Amazing!
Circa 1926.
Circa 1952. “Flesh and Fury.”
From 1968.
Aha! I see Dunn’s, a super deli I ate at often.
In the 1960s.
Large white building was the former Olympia. Here we have it during the 1978 blizzard.
Now named Teatro Variedades Ernesto Alban.
Since modified, and not for the better.

The Columbus Theatre has just closed, apparently for good, this weekend. Don’t know what will happen to it.
Probably shown circa 1943.
Saw the Italian movie “Flashback” here in the summer of 1969.
