I do, but it was for show, it was long past the era of silent film. The Paramount Theater in Baton Rouge had an organ, and so did the Sanger in New Orleans. They played intermissions. A little light classical stuff, a la Lawrence Welk.

Do you remember Lawrence Welk?

The Lennon Sisters?

My Little Margie?

Amos and Andy?

What is the cheapest coke you can remember in a machine? I can remember nickle cokes, six cents cokes (nickle and a penny) and ten cents cokes.

I remember gas pumps with those funky things on top with the whirling balls.

Um, the button says "respond". But how exactly does one respond to >>an organ player at the movies<< after this chatter about "endowment"? I mean, is this a reference to Peewee Herman? Or maybe to Barbara (a waitress I knew a while back - very adventurous)? I can see that I have been away too long.

So how is everybody? And where's the beer?

Do you remember the Ed Sullivan Show? Did you see the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show?

I saw the Beatles live. Top that, anybody.

Well, you are wrong, O smug one.
In Richmond, Virginia there was a movie theatre we used to go to in the late 60s-early 70s. Hmmm- the name escapes me...but it had Greek statues in little nooks all down the sides, very formal, and the organ would start to play and rise up from the orchestra pit. I also have a memory of the same thing here in Dallas at the Lakewood theatre at some point, but I might have dreamed that....
I dream so much, things can get very confusing for me...
