Senator hosts 1939 festival
To celebrate its 62nd anniversary, The Senator Theatre hosted a week-long 1939 film festival from Oct. 12-18. The historical Baltimore theater opened in October of 1939, and each year some special event commemorates that inaugural year. This year, a different 1939 classic film was shown each day for the 1939 admission price of just "25 cents per person." The Senator advertised the film festival by telling its prospective patrons to "Dig those quarters out of the couch!" It was truly exhilarating to walk to a ticket booth and buy a movie ticket for only a quarter.
