This week's column in "THE TIMES" was a complete joy to write. The column seemed to write itself! I think I wrote it in a little over an hour. Memories of the concession stand at the Gaiety theater, previews of coming attractions, and all the other unforgettable memories of a trip to the movies for a Tuesday or Saturday matinee came to my aging memory in brilliant technicolor. I'm sure my many visitors can relate to the experience of a matinee. Write and tell us about your memories of the silver screen.This week's "Those Long Forgotten Saturday Matinees" column can be read by clicking on the link to the right. Enjoy! And while you're there, read THE TIMES; it's a great newspaper and the oldest daily in Trenton.
THANKS FOR THIS FROM RALPH LUCARELLA:
Hi Tom: I was a big fan of Mickey Rooney in those days. They called him Mickey Mcguire and his team of poor kids always beat the rich kids led by Stinky Davis. Also popular were the Cowboys horses, Tom Mix had Tony, Roy Rogers horse was famous, so was Hoot Gibson, Buck Jones and Ken Maynard. I mentioned earlIar that the Gaiety let the kids in free on Sat. mornings during the 30s.Regards, Ralph
