The price of admission was one dollar per car. My folks did not expect to make money on the admissions but on all the stuff that we sold in the snack bar. Cold drinks were 10 cents, hot dogs a quarter, candy was 5 cents except for Mars Bars which were 10 cents. We even made our own ice cream. The snack bar had silver dollars inbedded in the floor. While my folks owned it, the theatre was a great success. Chris Wickersham
The Silver Dollar was built in 1950 by my father, Woodrow Wickersham. I was only ten at the time but I helped a little. My older sister and I would work in the snack bar on weekends. The admission price was one dollar per car. The movie on opening day was Red River staring John Wayne. The theatre was sold in 1956.
