Igor:  Happy to C U back on line, sent U an e-mail about party - no reply, so B it.  Ah yes, the Capitol Theater next door to the Pool Hall and on the other side was the Boot Repair shop.  Spent many a Saturday with my $.50 a wk. allowance there.  For $.50 I could the bus from 45th St. (that was the City Limits) way into town, go to the movie, eat all kinds of junk food & drink, ride the bus back to 45th where my folks would pick me up for the drive back into Fiskville where my Dad kept his Aligator(more on that story later).  Welcome Home, C  Ja Soon, Amigos, ws

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,
