I recall we went to the Capitol Theater with three or four balconeys and
lots of bats. It smelled like bat shit and cost 9 cents to get in. The Ritz
and Yank were on the East side of Congress and we hardly ever went there.
The double feature, five or six cartoons, the Pete Smith short, music short
and the serial were at the Capitol theater. There was also the Queen accross
the street from the State and next to the Kress Store. THe Queen collapsed
during the showing of a Tarzan movie and buried all the kids for a short
time. No one it turns out got really hurt but the Queen went kaput shortly
there after. I also went to the Rock movie theater in ROund Rock and the
Palace in Georgetown. The Austin had serials and cartoons and a double
feature. They were all transtexas theaters and you got a booklet of tickets
for Xmas every year good for movies. Popcorn was a nickle a bag and a
butterfinger lasted all thru the first feature. A Slow Poke would last the
whole movie and pull out your fillings to boot. Ahh, those wer the days.

Clark: Ah the reminesses of the Ritz Theater bring fond memories to this
ole soul. My Grandfather use to take all the Grandkids there on Saturday
Nights in the back in his 48 Chevy PU. I also have memories of the old
Capitol Theater where rats would jump off of the balconey into your pop corn
box. I remember one Saturday Morning when (I think it was Gene Autry) rode
his horse out on the stage, the floor was slick, Gene & his horse fell
off, caused headlines in the newspaper. I remember "Love Me
Tender" with Elvis being premired there my girl friend forced me to
stay through two showings. Ah the good ole days, you could have a movie,
pop corn, coke, and candy all for $.50 and still have money for the bus ride
home. Lordy, this all brings tears to my thighs, I mean eyes. As a poet
once said "never more, never more, and the Raven flew
away"........Come by when your in town sometime...........Amigos,
