DR Jeanne, I also used to get dropped off at the movies when I was a tiny kid...my mom would drop of myself, my friends Theresa and Shannon, and sometimes my little brother at the Craterian Theatre downtown. I remember seeing Dumbo, Bambi, That Darn Cat, all the Kurt Russell Disney flicks, Monkey's Uncle, Snow White and The Incredible Journey (the first movie I can remember crying at).
This was in the early 70s. Ten years later, around 1983 the theater stopped showing first run movies and kids movies and moved on to XXX films. I saw Wanda Whips Wallstreet at the Craterian in 1983 with my friends Steve and Marcie.
