George, I too spent many a saturday morning in the old center theater, .25 cents got you in, a drink, and popcorn! but that was a lot of money then, down south people working in the cotton mills or furniture did not make but 75 cents an hour in the mid fifties. Both my mother and father worked, mom two jobs, sold avon at night, dad would take here to the area where her route was and she would walk and carry that big bag of cosmetics they would have a certain time that dad would pick her up, you sure cannot do that today! wonder what a D grade parker cost then? 100.00 ?
