Loftin, Horace

Abstract:

Loftin recalls visiting the Sea Breeze Theatre during his childhood in Beaufort. After receiving his weekly allowance of fifteen cents, Loftin would purchase enough penny candy to outlast an afternoon at the movies. Meeting up with friends, the children would enter the theatre for a dime. The movies showed in order—first a cartoon, followed by the latest installment in a serial. Then, finally, the feature presentation—cowboy films were favorites of the author.
