May, 1964. Here's a shot of the lobby of the Forty Fort Theatre. This is about a year before the popcorn and soda machine were added. The standee in the foreground shows children's matinee "Ma and Pa Kettle on Old MacDondald's Farm" Also playing, Elvis in "Kissin' Cousins." Bob Hope's "A Global Affair" was slated to start the following week, but theatre records indicate it never played in 1964. <\/p><\/div>\n

The movie industry's popular slogan in the late 60's and early 70's was "Movie Are Better Than Ever."
