Between 1953 and 1969 I went to this theatre many many times. In elementary and Jr High days, I was there almost every Saturday for the double feature. The favorite concession was a drink called “The Shipwreck” which was a mixture of all the fountain sodas. I remember Mr. Kirkley the owner was a very kind man. It seemed like he really hated to kick unruly kids out on Saturdays for popping popcorn bags, or shooting silver gum wrappers at the screen. They looked like tracer bullets. It was really cool.
