Even if “downtown” only stretched a block, most whistle-stops on the American prairie took great pride in their theaters, their dream palaces. Back in the last century, they would have been the only place a person raised in the heartland would have seen the ocean or a skyscraper, or seen someone like Rhett Butler kiss someone like Scarlett O’Hara. Travel was what poor people did in their imaginations, hence the importance of those dream palaces. If you were desperately poor, you didn’t even need a ticket to dream. You could stand outside and moon over the movie posters.
