In 1946-47 I lived in Porterville..went to Bellview Elem. My friend Kenny and I would go to the Monache early Saturday morning and scrape gum off the floors and from under the seats and for this Mr. Howell would let us go to the Saturday matinee. Great memories. And at the Porter, Mrs. Howell always sat in the back far right loges. Movie tickets were 12 cents in those days. So for a quarter you could go to the Molino as well. Life was good.
