I lived on Cedar Avenue, just several blocks from the Takoma Theater. We used to go to the matinee every Saturday for a dime. My brothers also went when they became a little older. What wonderful memories I have of that theater. I actually met my future husband there when I had just turned 16, in August of 1954. His name was Tommy Voigt. He was there with his best friend Billy Horton. The movie playing that day was “The River of No Return”, starring Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe.
My Father also attended Takoma Theater when he was a child. I have an old photo of the theater. I believe it shows the movie that was playing when the photo was taken. Haven’t looked at it for years. It would be wonderful to see it totally restored. (Barbs Hering Voigt Dove)
