The Uptown was owned/operated by the Rubinsky family. My cousin Jeff and I used to go to the Saturday kids' matinees all the time in the 1950’s. We watched Buster Crabbe serials, Westerns, and cartoons (Casper the Friendly Ghost, Tom and Jerry, etc.). Today Jeff is a TV director/producer in Hollywood. Some favorite snacks were popcorn (of course) in a cardboard box, Jujubees, Rolo bars, Good & Plenty, Goobers.
Downtown theatres included the Senate (right on Market St. Square) and the State Theatre on Market, if memory serves correctly.
