This theater was where I saw my first movie as a young girl and also where I had my first stolen kiss, so it holds very dear memories for me. I was and still am a movie addict, because this was my first exposure to a huge world outside of my small hometown. I collected signed pictures of the famous movie stars of the time by writing to their studios and had many scrapbooks filled with them and pictures I cut out of my Photoplay magazines. Oh, how I regret not keeping them now! Because the owners of the theater (The Turvey’s) were good friends of my parents and knew of my collections, they would give me some of the advertising posters of the current movies they used in the glass cases in front of the theater.Another huge regret I have for not keeping! My dates (before being 16 and allowed to go in a car with boys) usually ended up with a cherry coke or Green River at Millburg’s Drugstore. Guess they were too cheap for a hamburger!Those days and the “poodle skirts” were pretty fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
