My dad worked as projectionist in the cinema on this spot in the 1930s. Back then it had canvas seats, surrounded by a fence, and no roof. A pianist added the score to the silent movies.

Steve and Doug, thanks for posting those pictures. Steve, my wife went to high school in Eureka in the mid-70s, and she reckons it still looks the same!
