A great movie theater of my childhood, I grew up in the Mission District of San Francisco. The New Mission was a great family theater with balcony seating and a large foyer in the rear of the theater. They used to play the organ on Friday and Saturday nights when they had a talent show. Sometimes they had bingo and in those days they would pay in silver dollars and count them in a metal bucket, which clanged when they dropped the money in the bucket. The Ten Commandments, El Cid, West Side Story all where exclusive engagements. I loved the balcony seating.
