Exploring Photos: Dewey McCourt

Everyone in town knew Dewey McCourt and his family. In 1946, he bought the Brock Theatre, and it this composite picture taken that he is seen on the left holding his daughter Hilary. Tickets were 10 cents for children, 15 cents for students and 42 cents for adults. On Saturdays, a long line of us kids would wait for the theatre doors to open for the 2 p.m. movie. The film always started with a cartoon and a news reel. Mr. McCourt also ran the Town Taxi, having a new Cadillac with the phone number Howard 8-3211.
