The show featured a variety of local talent, including an uninvited appearance of a bat flying above the crowd. The evening was organized as a fund raiser for the Drill Team. The community was very supportive, and a good size crowd turned out to enjoy the night. By Norman Baxter: In the 1920's and 1930's, there were four different moving picture theaters in town. Occasionally we saw some at the old Aarion Dance Hall. That building has been torn down. One theater was in the building one door south of the present drug store. I have never forgotten those hard wooden benches, but moving pictures were something new and enjoyed. I saw the first showing of “Covered Wagon” in that show house. That is the picture which was filmed in Burbank-Garrison area,, about 1928. Max and Iona Baxter have an artifact of that filming. IIt is an old, hand hewn ox bow that sat on the necks of two oxen and was used to pull a wagon. Another theater was in the building where the floral shop is presently located. I passed handbills for this show house and could see all of the movies. Most. of all I liked to sit in the projection room and watch the show through a small. window, and also watch the projectionist, Dern Osbome, work on the machines. -] saw the first “Talkie” there. The soumd was on a large record. When Dern adjusted the picture on the screen lhe would then put the phonograph head down on the record. Never would the lips and voice match. Then he would tr another groove, and another groove until finally both were in synch. All was fine then until the endl of either the film reel. or the record. Then the process had to be repeated. : I’m not certain of the vear that a new movie house was built, but it was very nice for the times and for a small town. It was located where the present Chiropractic offfice is. The floor sloped and there was a large stage and screen. The ‘seats were cushioned and comfortable.
