My grandmother lived around the corner on South 16th street, and as a 10 year-old boy I stayed with her during Christmas vacation of 1960. She allowed me to walk down to the Roosevelt—alone—to see Elvis in “G.I. Blues.” I sat in the theater watching it three times in a row, and returned the next day to do it again! A second feature of Frank Sinatra’s “Some Came Running” was also showing, if I remember correctly, but I could have seen that the Christmas before. It would be interesting to see the movie schedule pages from the local paper of that week to verify my memories.

This was also the theatre in which Errol Flynn’s first film, “In The Wake Of The Bounty,” premiered on March 13, 1933.
