Wow you guys. I remember the monster double features, sticky floors, and someone mentioned the soda machine. No one mentioned the silver dollar prize between horror movies. I do remember the guy coming out on stage warning us about throwing food at the screen and that they were getting a new one. Memories
Btw the location listed is correct. When Butch Cassidy opened there the line was around the building on weekends. As ushers we would literally stand in the back of the theater during the whole feature. I learned to read a book with a flashlight.
I worked there the summer of 1970 as an usher. I made $1.60 an hr and 2 movie tix each payday. It had 2 regular sized theaters (on the right entrance) and very small screened theater (left entrance). Some people would be very upset at the size of the screen when they entered theater #1 and leave. Did not have freshly popped popcorn (heated up). Fun summer job.
I was a St. Judes guy
