We had a theater in town, the "Roxy", opened in 1947, by a Mr Miller. He also sold radios, & had the 1st TV in town, a '48 7" Admiral bakelite set that is now mine. His daughter, Sara Grace, ran the theater after he died til her death in the early '90s. She was an unhappy, foul-tempered old woman, but she "Rode Herd" over several generations of kids, & made sure they always got home safe. As far as I remember, NOBODY ever turned up missing or anything like that from the Roxy. Sara Grace was a rather large, THREATENING person, who had NO qualms at all about leading teenage miscreants out of her theater by the ear. She lived a hard, thankless life, making her living a few quarters & dimes at a time...
