When I was a kid I lived near 105th & Halsted and I’d go by myself to the Capitol almost every weekend. Back then $1.00 covered my bus fare (15c each way), admission (25c), and 3 boxes of popcorn (15c each, and a drink (10c). Plus, I got to see a double feature.

The first movie I ever saw at a movie theater was at the Stony. My parents took me there in 1954 to see “Them!”.
