Christmas Day, 1946. Hamilton township proudly announced the opening of the new RKO Hamilton theater. It was located on South Broad Street. The building is still there, now the home of a local church. "Canyon Passage," starring Dana Andrews, Brian Donlevy, and Susan Hayward was the premier presentation. Unfortunately, a few years later, television would come on the scene and the movie going public migrated away from the silver screen.

I remember watching that building being constructed. One of the brick masons was killed in a fall from the scaffolding near the top of the building. And, I'll never forget the 25 cent, Sat. afternoon double feature plus a serial (Red Ryder, Lash LaRue and Boston Blackie come to mind), a cartoon, and the Movietone News.
