The Inglewood Theatre was located at 115 N. La Brea, it seated 640 people.
This and the Ritz Theater were the two kiddie-matinee houses in downtown Inglewood in the 1950s where we would be dropped off by our parents all day and see from 4 to 6 hours of films on a Saturday afternoon. We had a great time, especially since Dad would take us to Sav-On Drugs first where we could buy five candy bars for a quarter before going into the theater. I loved my Necco wafers. Clark bars, Rocky Road, Look, and Big Hunk, all for a nickel each; but my favorites bought at the theaters were Flicks, chocolate discs in a cylinder tube with metallic wrap, and Raisinets.
