Spent so many Saturday afternoons there from late 40’s to mid 50’s. Every Saturday was a kid’s day, where on line, they would hand out promotion cards, and if you had the right color card, you would get in free. You would get 10 color cartoons, 2 movies (usually a western or an A&C movie, or war movie) and a Pathe news. We always sat in the kids section on the left, and would throw popcorn at the matron, who just passed and who always had her white hair in a bun, and a backside like a table. We were rotten kids, and there were about 12 of us from E. 13th between Kings Highway and Ave. Saw “The Thing” with James Arness there, and didn’t sleep for a week.
