Saturday Afternoon At The
Roxy
(By Catherine, Plumtree)
"When does the show go in?" record at maximum pitch to be
Almost an hour before showtime,
and already the children are mill-
ing about the theatre doors. A
stickler for accuracy or a would-
be humorist may - ',tell them .the
show isn't; going' anywhere, but he
will fail to make his point.. The
show "goes in" every Saturday af-
ternoon, and no one can tell them
it doesn't.
The cashier attempts to line
them up 'back, from the doors to
prevent accidents. A friendly
scuffle can easily send a flying
knee or elbow through one of the.
thin panes of glass, with gory re-
sults. The doorman drives up and
is hailed with cheers "Now we'll
get in." He greets them with a
smile but they must wait a little
longer. They can work off their
extra steam outdoors until about
twenty minutes before showtime.,
The rest of the staff arrives,
the candy bar is stocked and the
popcorn boxes folded. The mat-
ron stands readyto prevent the
line-up jamming at the wicket, as
the first comers rarely have their
money ready, The doors are un-
locked and a shout arises. "The
show's going in!" The lush is on
and the money is wildly flung
down, change snatched and taken
to the candy bar.
One little lad appears in the
line-up clutching a box of popcorn
and five "twisters," a full 15c
worth, and bestows a dime on the
cashier with an engaging smile.
"Where's the rest of your mon-
ey?" she asks. "That's all the
money they gave me over there,"
he explains virtuously.
Exchanging a glance of resig-
ned amusement withthe matron,
the 'cashier attempts to explain
that, if he had 25 cents to start
with, he should have bought his
ticket first and spent his change
on candy afterward. But to a
five-year-old this is a distinction
without a difference. He accepts
a 13 cent ticket in exchange for
his dime and moves on.
Even in the interests of balan-
cing'the receipts it is seldom wise
to insist on a missing penny or
two from the youngest patrons. A
flood of uncomprehending tears
does neither side any good, and
the next one will in all probabil-
ity slam down 15c and dash off
without his two cent change in
his haste to secure a front sea:.
Or a little girl who has been left
off with a penny shortage a week
or so before will bring it when
next she comes, explaining earn-
estly that she owes it.
The traffic patrol boys come in
past the procession of paying
customers. They display their
badges to, the doorman with the
aplomb of veteran G-men. Each
one does a fine job of patrol on
the streets but in the Roxy's dark-
ened auditorium he is as much of
a hazard as any other small boy.
And is just as likely to have a
concealed weapon to use against
unwary seat -mates. This tenden-
cy is firmly suppressed, but the
staff is secretly amused by the
easily -shed gallantry which es-
corts little girls across the street
on weekdays, only to basely shoot
them in the back on Saturday."
The rush at the box office slack-
ens and the matron moves into the
crowded aisles. The noise is cleat -
ening, but is not checked so long
as everyone is happy. Seat kick-
ing and piercing whistles are
frowned upon and the matron is
kept busy confiscating peashooters
and water pistols. The project-
ionist upstairs keeps his loudest
heard above the din. Soft sooth-
ing music: would be wasted 'on
Saturday afternoon:
At last—the lights dim and the
cartoon appears on the screen,
The children let loose a roar of
approval that shakes the rafters
and the show is on. ..-
The cartoon holds them spell-
bound, but the news reel gets
scant ,attention. `Some of them
wander out to ask "When' does
the real picture start?" A little
girl ruefully smoothing her, pret-
ty' skirts comes out to tell the
doorman "There's "a boy in there
with a water gun." The offend-
ing gun is tracked down and re-
moved and peace is restored.
No matter how enthralling the
"real picture" proves to be, the
little ones are weary long before'
it is over. The doorman frequent-
ly has a couple, of, them on his
lap and several more around his
chair. • Finally the show ends with
the Natienal Anthem and the
lights go up. The children dash
for the door, just as eager to be
first out as they were to be first
in, Saturday matinee at the Roxy
is over for another week.
