A reminiscence of Saturday afternoons at the Ritz theater from 1955 to 1968. The narrator recalls double features, a mistaken Psycho screening, a marquee show, free holiday treats, concession stands, and the closed balcony amid memories of youth and first romances.
The clipped Wellington Leader chronicle covers jail escapes, a 1952 water carnival, flag etiquette prompts by veterans groups, a space age exhibit at the fair, church and local official changes, school enrollment figures, and community updates on scholarships and bike-a-thons. It weaves local history with regional events and notable residents.
