This Day in History: 1960-06-04
The Ramsey Cinema, closed since 1952, was reopened under new management. Bertill I. Calson leased the building and undertook extensive renovations before the opening. He announced that there would be children’s matinees followed by continuous showings on weekends. During the week a double feature with the first film being repeated at the end would be the usual fare, or a single feature with selected short subjects shown twice. The theater had been constructed during the first World War and had changed hands a number of times in the interval. The first showing was a double feature of “A Visit to a Small Planet” and “A Touch of Larceny”. (Bristow)
