Children and teens wait outside The Parr Theater in October of 1955 to see the movie, Ulysses. Going downtown for a Saturday matinee was a tradition on Main Street for years.
This showing was probably an after-school event since many children are holding books.
The theater showed news clips, full-feature movies and serials. In the 50's popcorn was 10 cents and soft drink was 15 cents.
