Three or four times a week. Only one showing per film. Eight pm. The attendance was always sparse and it had to run at a considerable loss...
We had a great time. My late wife Barbara Price Rose and a few others from our school class served on rotation. I remember there were tickets...25 cents. There were matinees every Saturday. And, as the Inn was owned by Quakers, no shows on Sunday! This launched me into a life time of film fanship which is alive and well to this day. And, yes, they do not make 'em like they used to!
All best to anyone who also saw movies there

PS No popcorn was served! No drinks allowed. And there was a curtain that one of us would go up to pull when the newsreel began. Usually two or three shorts would follow. And a newsreel. I bet some readers will not even know what that was. Remember there was no television. None.
