Deja vu all over again....

You got me remembering the Saturday matinees I used to go to as a kid in
San Francisco.

Admission was 25 cents for which you got to see a "double feature" a
couple of cartoons, the week's newsreel and one episode of a "serial"
like the Lone Ranger.

Sometimes you even got handed a little piece of stale outdated candy as
you walked in.

Circa 1948 or so. G

Gotcha beat. Our Saturday matinee was .09c, popcorn .10c, cola .05c.
and candy 2 for a penny. So our .25c covered the movie, popcorn,
drink, and 2 pieces of candy. Even saw Lash Larue on stage, in
person, one saturday. Had the cutest assistant I ever saw in my 8 yrs
of life - instant first love!
