1946: THE NEW HAMILTON THEATRE
This was RKO's Christmas gift to Hamilton Township way back on Christmas Eve, 1946. The Hamilton was a favorite of my mom and dad. Unfortunately, it went the way of the Passenger Pigeon after a very short time in existance, and today serves as a church,
The Hamilton stands out in my mind for showing foreign films. I remember seeing Diabolique with my new husband and another couple. All of us were on the edge of seats at the scene where the husband slides up in the bathtub after the wife and mistress have murdered him. We all screamed when it happened, as did the rest of the audience. Gosh, that was about 55 years ago. Funny how those things stand out in your mind.
