According to the 1930 census, my mother, Louise Copenhaver, lived in an apartment at “318 W Fifth Street,” which I believe was the Grand Theater. She told of her and her sister getting into the movies because they knew their way around the building, and that there were dances in the ballroom. Her sister would catch the eye of players of brass instruments and then suck on a lemon, which caused them not to be able to play!
When I was maybe 6 years old, my cousin and I got into an argument about who would carry the money and pay for us to get into the Lake Theater. My uncle tore a dollar bill in half and gave each of us one piece. He said the ticket lady would still take it, and she did!
