Email the Vera at since disappeared. [email protected]. The big red velvet curtain is one of them. As movie-goers entered the theater prior to show time, they au- tomatically lowered their voices and spoke in hushed tones. There was something about that heavy red velvet curtain that gave the auditorium an aura of majesty, and commanded respect and best behavior. At one time, uniformed ushers would escort you to your seats of choice. They carried small flashlights to guide people who arrived after the movie had started. They also maintained order if the audi- ence grew unruly. Cell phones had not yet been invented, so doctors or parents who left their kids with babysitters of- ten mentioned such to the usher so he or she could find them if an emergency phone call came in. Believe it or not, like the seats on an aircraft, cinemas used to have ashtrays built into the seats. No need to explain why those went away. I almost forgot about newsreels. Be- fore television sets appeared in every household, Americans got their break- ing news from the radio or the daily newspaper. Neither of those sources came with film so the newsreel at the theater was a great way to get an update on what was going on in the world. I only got to see two or three of these but they were something you just don’t forget. What I missed most when they stopped was the cartoons. You couldn’t see any movie at the theater without enjoying a couple of cartoons. Good cartoons, like the Road Runner, Mighty Mouse and other action-packed critter cartoons. It’s amazing that we survived the car- toons that encouraged criminal activity, like Yogi Bear. “Hey there Boo Boo, let’s go steal some pic-a-nic baskets.” Then, as an added bonus, you would get two for the price of one — a dou- ble feature. Because the second movie was usually never as good as the first, older-timers dubbed them “B movies,” a name that stuck ever since for movies that are mediocre at best (they usually involve a swamp thing, enormous spi- der or gigantic gooey blob that eats a town).
