I first went inside the Lorenzo theater in 1956-7 when I lived in San Lorenzo. The matinee lines went for blocks and kids anxious to get in. The matinees were frequently sold out frequently. I think the cost was about thirtyfive cents. For a kid, those murals of jungle scenes and tigers were more than exciting. They were just as exciting when I was in high school. This is a great California treasure and I hope it will become a memorable place again.
