I was born in Los Angeles in 1940 and lived in City Terrace until 1956. I remember attending the City Terrace
Theater in the 40’s and 50’s. It was an unusual theater.
If you went to the first show, it started in the middle of the movie. They always showed double bills so you’d have one additional intermission to buy snacks. They always had a double bill, a Laurel and Hardy or similar,
cartoon so you’d have several hours of entertainment.
On school holidays there’d be a special program for kids
which cost not more than a quarter and they’d give you a
comic book. Again, multiple movies, cartoons, shorts.
There’d be a long lines of kids waiting to get in.
