1948 here.
When I was about ten our local supermarket would provide free passes to the Saturday matinee for kids. My younger siblings and I would look forward to watching the cartoons and maybe a western or space man short.
Not all cartoons were created equal. We very much looked forward to our favorites. I especially liked Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, The Road Runner. I was unamused by some of the older cartoons that featured depictions of Hollywood actors or singers. I seldom knew who they were supposed to be and the gags didn't seem funny at all.
1942 here.
I got to go to the Star theater on Saturday,
and pay nine cents for a movie, cartoon, and serial.
The thing I noticed was that my shoes wanted to
stick to the floor. Kids spilling their drinks,
I figured. Looking back, I HOPE that’s what it was.
