Simon, West Side Story played in San Francisco as a roadshow 70mm presentation in the United Artist Theater on Market St. Did you see a second run at the Mission?
Went to the Palms almost every Saturday with Vaughn to see Roy Rogers or Tarzan movies. Always took my cap guns. This was in the early 50’s. Week nights sometimes my parents would take my sister and I. They had bingo night between features. I won one night and had to go up on stage and spin a big wheel. It ended up on three. I got three silver dollars. I thought I was rich. Bought a Lionel railroad car at the dime store the next day. The lady that helped me saw me win my silver dollars the night before. What fame.
I have one 35 mm projection lens from the Villa. It’s the biggest anamorphic lens I have ever seen. Don
