re: First movie you remember seeing in a theater - and which theater?

Probably one of Pinocchio, Dumbo, or Peter Pan, when they replayed them in the theater in downtown Natchez. Although I do remember sleeping through a replay of Gone With the Wind there too. That was most likely the first one I was in the building for.

We had to quit going to that theater, because the NAACP started having protests in that part of town in the mid 60's. We started back going to movies when they opened a modern, multi-screen theater across from Jeff Davis Memorial hospital, at the foot of the bridge.

We lived in Vidalia, and my dad worked at the IP mill. The only other times we went to Natchez after the protests, was to get Kentucky Fried Chicken on Sunday's after church, and to shop at a Gibson's store. Always got suede cowboy boots from there for my birthday.
