Lights! Camera! Action! Many people went to the movies this year to relax. Some people attended the movies to get away from their problems. Others took in a movie just for a few hours. But in Saginaw, the movie theater was used as a form of entertainment. After sitting home on a Friday night watching television reruns, anyone was ready to get away. Remember hew those Friday nights went? There came little Sally running in the living room, at the punch line and scream- ed,“Susie gets to spend the night! Susie gets to spend the night!” Then little Johnny came with a bowl of hot buttered popcorn that landed on the floor. Events such as these often persuaded students to see a movie as a way to escape.

Motion pictures were a form of information as well as entertainment. They recreated the lives of famous men and women. Businesses used films to train their employees. Schools used movies as an educa- tional tool to teach students. Motion pictures were like stage plays, except that when performing on stage there was no stopping a camera when a mistake was made, yet, they were like television shows with no commercials. In Saginaw, Green Acres Cinema 1 2, Court Theater and the Quad Theatre gave a variety of movies from which to choose. Westerns, horror, war, mys- teries, drama, comedy, anamation or whatever the taste called for was here in our little town. 26
