I lived a few blocks from the Hamilton. Saw Disney’s “Song of the South” there twice, 1948, and 1956. admission was 5 cents m-f, 10 cents on weekends.
went to O'Keeffe School, grad 1955.
My father owned the popcorn and candy store next to the Granada in the late 20’s and early 30’s, before I was born. He then began to make his own popcorn machines and established the Kripy Kist Korn Machine Co. at 120 so. Halsted in 1933, eventually renamed Krispy Kist Co. manufacturing all sorts of machines for the snack food industry.
His strongest wish was that all popcorn be cooked on a gas popper without oil and that “pure creamery butter” be used as the flavoring. His company was very involved in the snack food industry in the post WWII period up until it was sold about 10 years ago.
Caramelcorn was his specialty and I still make the original recipe for the holiday season. The Karamelcorn stores in downtown Chicago were users of our machines as well as a competitor’s machines.
If anyone remembers his original store or has any further info, I’d appreciate hearing from you.

It’s amazing how small the theaters were compared to my memories of them
