I CAN’T BELIEVE I FOUND THIS SITE. I HAVE SUCH FOND MEMORIES OF THE OLE CHIEF THEATER IN POCATELLO, IDAHO. I LIVED THERE WITH MY MOM FROM 1946 TO 1954 AND DON’T THINK THERE WERE TOO MANY SATURDAYS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD THAT I WASN’T SITTING EITHER IN THE CHIEF THEATER OR THE ORPHIUM TOTALLY CAPTURED BY THE ENTERTAINMENT THEY HAD TO OFFER.
I’M TALKING ABOUT 25 CARTOONS, TWO MAJOR REATURES, SERIALS, SHORTS, NEWS REELS AND SOME “LIVE†PERFORMERS. I SAW BLACKSTONE THE MAGICIAN, HOPALONG CASSIDY, BURL IVES AND AUDIE MURPHY JUST TO NAME A FEW. I WON AN ENGRAVED DUNCAN YOYO AT THE CHIEF FOR “ROCKIN’ THE BABY†DURING ONE OF THE LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS.
AS I REMEMBER TELEVISION WASN’T AVAILABLE, OR AT LEAST WE DIDN’T HAVE ONE AND THAT MADE THE ALL-DAY EVENT VERY, VERY SPECIAL TO ME. IN FACT, SOME DAYS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THE SUN HADN’T COME UP WHEN I WENT THRU THE FRONT DOOR AND WOULD HAVE SET BY THE TIME I CAME OUT.
I GOT ONE SILVER DOLLAR AS MY ALLOWANCE EACH WEEK AND LOOKED FORWARD TO SPENDING THE WHOLE THING AT THE MOVIES ON STURDAY.
IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO STEP BACK IN TIME FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE.
