         NOW PLAYING!

    

April 23rd is "Movie Theater Day!" I

always loved the movies. I've even been in

a couple!  I pretty much grew up in movie

theaters. My Dad was a projectionist at the old

Capitol Theater in Hazleton. I got in there for

free. But when I wasn't going to the Capitol I

could often be found at one of the many

neighborhood theaters we had in my home

town. There were two within 5 blocks of my

house! On weekends you could go to either

for anywhere between 13 cents and a quarter

and see a double feature, a short subject, cartoons,

and a weekly chapter with superheros like

Superman or Batman! These days a lot of

folks have those big screen TVs in their home.

But as big as they may be they're  nowhere 

near the size of the giant indoor movie theater

screens or the Drive Ins for that matter. 

There's nothing like a night out at the movies, 

or an afternoon for that matter.  And Movie

Theater Day is a great day to get out of the

house to go to see a great flick. You may,

however, find the ticket and popcorn price

just a little higher than you remember.

Enjoy the show! Hope all your NEWS is

good!
