[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2145006, member: 94045"] In the 50's cinemas used to run Saturday morning films and entertainment for young children. We had community singing with the words on the screen and we all sang along with gusto. One of the songs was always the Yellow Rose of Texas, along with Shut the Door they're Coming Through the Window, and other similar songs. There was always a short film, normally a Laurel and Hardy or something of that ilk, then a longer film. There were also guests on the stage. I remember one in particular - Lenny the Lion. I joined his fan club and got a big shiny badge. It all cost 6 old pennies plus the price of an ice cream and a penny for the bus fare to get there. Hundreds of children went. No adults. It was whilst waiting in the queue to get in one Saturday morning that some nasty boy told us there is no such person as Father Christmas. He was obviously wrong. Such innocent fun - and safe. We went on the bus on own own. No lifts from parents in those days. Happy days. [/QUOTE]
