WERE YOU THERE?

It was 1963, and Aunt Nita and her family lived in Eudora. We were there for the week-end, and the house must have been too full of children, because it was decided the oldest ones could go to Oak Grove to movie. There must have been some decision about who was old enough to go, and Sandra woud drive. We weren't really allowed to drive outside of town at home, and going to another town after dark seemed daring. We called to find out what time the second movie started. "9:15," the manager said, but then told us to get there by 8:30, which we did. We wandered into the darkened screen room, and the movie was already playing. We sat for a few minutes, when we realized we were seeing the last of the movie. We didn't want to ruin it, so we wandered back out to the lobby, and the girls hung in the bathroom for a while. We were waiting for our movie to start before we bought popcorn and cokes. The first movie ended and the sparse audience filed out. The concession stand closed, before we got our 'refresments." We were the only audience for the second feature. The room lights went out, and the movie lights came on. About 2/3s way through the movie, the reel stopped, and the room lights came on. The theatre was closing!

Don't cha' love small towns? Were you there? What was the movie?
