Remember those magic Saturdays, when you would hurry to finish your Ralston or Wheateena? Your mother would pack your lunch and you’d be off for a whole day of a double feature, a newsreel, a chapter, a western and cartoons . . . all for the price of 15 cents. And when you got older, you spent a little more on a date at The Paradise, with a finale at Krum’s or Jahn’s.All those great movies had posters and advertisements and credits. But nobody ever gave credit to the places that showed these films. Not until now. |

| This big, bold, beautiful, 22-by-28-inch poster will remind you of those great places: The Crest in Highbridge, the Savoy in Belmont, the Kingsbridge Theatre, and the RKOs, like Fordham, Spooner, 167th Street, Burnside, Elsmere, Fairmount, National, Post Road, and othersPlus all those mouth-watering confections that were sold there, like Bonomos Turkish Taffy, Zagnut Bar, Jujubes, buttons and candy cigars.
This is a great gift and a must-own item because it keeps a treasured piece of history with you. This is a piece of history that you will never find in a book. |
