Then, if we were lucky enough to have a few pennies, we’d buy hard candy or popcorn to eat while watching the show. After the movie started, we’d laugh and slap our knees for comedians. We’d scream and cheer for daring adventurers, and sigh over beautiful heroines. Later, as we folded up our chairs and headed home, we all felt a little less worried about being poor and unemployed.
