Patrick and Lauren

In this daring episode of our special series, The Envelope Please, Patrick and Lauren talk about the ads running before films and during intermission at  movie houses during the 1940's. 

What's your favorite concession? Concessions were and still are pushed down our throats. Popcorn being the number one seller at the movies. 

The similarity between things we see in movie theatres today and back then. Silence has always been an issue apparently. But less common today...seat cutting?

And War Bonds! The war effort was in full swing during the 40's and what better way to support the troops than to give them money and "back the attack."
