I remember those days, in San Marcos, TX. Meeting all my buddies at the movie theater on Saturday Morning for the manatee. 25 cents to get in, 50 cents bought a popcorn, Milk Duds and a large Coke and I got change back. All money was earned by picking up pop bottles from the ditch along the roads and getting 2 cents per bottle. A newsreel, an episode of a serial, two or three cartoons, lots of previews, and a movie. Ride my bike to the theater, leave it unlocked and parked on the side of the building, and it was there too ride home.
That's much the way it was for me around 1950/1951. I'd mow the lawn every weekend, & my mother would give me 35 cents for it. I walked to the movie theatre (maybe a couple of miles), & it cost 25 cents to get in, & I could buy two candy bars with the left over dime.
