I was an usher there in the 60’s. Many memories, to say the least. It is a shame that it is no longer offering the double features which we all grew up with.

When I opened this page and seen that “Move Over Darling” was on the marque, I almost fell off my chair. I seen it their on a very cold December day.

It was 1959. I was in 7th grade, St. Aloysius in West Allis. The nuns took us to see “Ben Hur”. I will never forget when they opened the drapes ( remember those days). The screen was crimped on both ends as that was the only way it could be fitted. Yes, it was not a Cinerama production, but stunning just the same. It is a shame that this cannot be duplicated today. The chariot race was breathtaking.
