32. Yeah! The Saturday matinee at our theater often showed Westerns as double features.

We had the cartoon in the middle, too. Sometimes it was comedies or action movies, but typically it was westerns.

The theater was usually packed, but the management of the theater didn't allow kids up in the balcony. Too much popcorn throwing, etc.

On Friday and Saturday, the same theater always had a double feature aimed at attracting teenagers. It was a small town of about 5,000, so that theater was about the only date place there was. the first movie started at 7 PM. The second one usually was over by 10 PM, to get the kids home by their curfew.

On the other hand, there were a lot fewer teens there for the second feature. I figured that out, once I got my driver's licence. Couples left to go park somewhere and fool around more seriously. There were limits on what you could get away with at the theater, really, even in the back row. The balcony was patrolled occasionally by an adult usher, who would light up kids who were going too far with his flashlight.

Fun times!
