Remembering The
Movies.....
The matinees at the old Glidden theatre, the trips
to Carroll, Lake City and the Drive
In. Yes, I am so old, that I
remember the Carroll Drive In. I
learned to love movies....Still
do.....Almost every night, between
10-12 I watch an old movie. My
favorites are the ones that I
remember seeing at Glidden, Carroll
and my favorite place, The Camelot
in Lake City. What wonderful
memories.
How many snowy Friday nights did we
trek to Lake City to watch a movie?
I even remember
the first movie I ever saw outside
of Glidden. Mary Moorhouse or maybe
Arlene Rudi took Steve, Fritz, Jim
and myself (if I remember) to
Carroll. She wanted to shop, so she
dumped us off at the theatre. I will
never forget the movie.....Hush,
Hush, Sweet Charlotte.....We thought
it was a lubby, dubby movie.....The
first scene showed a boy, about our
age, chasing a ball into an old
house with covered furniture.....The
kid goes in....finds his
ball...turns and YIPES.....there is
Bette Davis sitting there in the
dark....Scared the poop out of him
and us, too...You think Bette Davis
is a little spooky?......What a scary
movie....Anyway, I thought we could
start a list of favorite movies we
remember seeing at these theatres. |
