IT’S TERRIFIC! Neon sign for the premiere of Citizen Kane at the Palace Theater, New York, May 1941.

In the late '40's we had a Strand theater here [ lLouisville Ky] that specialized in first run Universal features. They did show a few Hoppy westerns and one serial, cColumbias  Adventures of Superman. It later shared the same fate as some of our other grand movie houses.......torn down and transformed into a parking lot !!

The State Theatre puts me in mind of the beautiful Fox Theatres it's certainly looks a knock-out and some:)

I'm not sure if this is a motion picture theater, but I had to share this beautiful picture of it.

Another thing that has disappeared with the modern day multiplexes is the atmosphere of the small neighborhood movie palaces. When entering ,the aroma of freshly  popped buttery popcorn greated you. The movies were already running but never fear. They were continuous showings so you never missed a thing. Then there were on screen ads and jingles enticing you to  "go to the lobby to get yourself a treat". In most cases,at least when I was a kid,this all came at the cost of one thin dime on Saturdays,later a quarter. Those days are gone but certainly not forgotten !
