Nostalgia runs rampant in these memories of my childhood in New York City. Major theatres had one film and a stage show. It was at the Paramount Theatre that I first saw a very skinny Frank Sinatra.
I was born during the Depression, remembered the boys on our block joined the military and went off to fight in WWII and then Korea. We sent letters and packages to the troops, and our mailman came three times a day (except on Sunday). I still have the old typewriter I used to send off my mail.
I got my first pair of Mary Jane shoes and was I proud. I even have my old sewing machine which I got after the war, I even made some of my own clothes.
I remember listening to “The Shadow,’ “The Lone Ranger” and many others on the radio, and NO I do not have it any more. However, we listened to President Roosevelt’s speech declaring war on Japan. None of us knew where Pearl Harbor was until we dragged out our Atlas to find its location.
We went to the movies on Saturday afternoon We got 10 cents for admission and a penny for a bag of candy, and at 5:00 pm the ushers threw all the kids out. Sometimes we tried to hideout in the rest room but we always got caught.
On Saturday we saw two film features, cartoons, world news and the best thing of all we got a toy…it was usually a piece of junk but was FREE.
Those were the best years of my life. It’s too bad that my children couldn’t have had such a great childhood.

Hi Doris,
You wrote everything I experienced in So.Brooklyn N.Y. My Grandmother had a candy store and placed theater signs in front window and and got tickets for the movies for 3 cents. It was a great time for kids you could play out side all day and into the night. At least we had that time we can always remember.

I was lucky enough to actually meet some of the great stars of the 1950’s. I was backstage 4 times with Johnny Cash, still have an LP that the Everly Brothers signed for me, visited with Bill Haley in his dressing room, close friends with Joe Bennett (of “Black Slacks” fame). Spent some time with Carl Perkins at a show, had a cup of coffee with Tex Ritter. As a radio DJ I was backstage with country music stars like Marty Robbins, Jim Ed Brown (of The Browns), Hank Snow, Eddy Arnold, Faron Young and Sonny James. Listening to the radio guys in the ’50s was all the fun you could imagine!!
