Stamp Use For Fox Admission Encouraging
The first two weeks of Homtown Stamps at the Fox Theater saw 150 admissions issued for completed stamp sheets, with some sheets redeemed within days. Adults used stamps more than children, and two $2.50 books plus one $1.25 book have been redeemed. Stamp sheets cover Ben Hur admissions, allowing adults to pay 85 cents plus 40 cents, while children receive face value. One book can cover two adult admissions at the Ben Hur rate, and theater officials expect momentum to grow. A similar plan is being installed at the Roxy Theater in Trenton, Nebraska.
