When I was in elementary school (Little River elementary 1957-1959) I never missed a Saturday matinee at the Rosetta. There would be a movie, sometimes a serial, and a scad of cartoons, all for a quarter. I saw my first horror movie (“House on Haunted Hill”), “7th Voyage of Sinbad,” “Forbidden Planet,” Northwest Passage,“ "Inn of the 6th Happiness.”
I remember it as being fairly run-down even back then. I don’t recall much of a snack bar. There was a soda machine that sold lukewarm off-brand sodas in little cups. If you pushed 2 buttons at once you could mix them into something even more awful.
I remember that the 79th St, Art Theatre was around the corner near Larry’s Luncheonette. I used to try to figure out what was going on there by the posters, but it was all pretty mysterious,
