Living in Coral Gables, Florida then, my two older sisters took me with them to see the first showing in downtown Miami, at the Olympia Theater!
I was 5 years old and remember it vividly.
Oh Sistah, another point of parallel lives. I was 5 when I saw it. I was almost 6, but I recall it so vividly because it was the very first moving picture that I ever saw. Can you imagine a little country girl who rarely went to "town" and having no knowlege about movies, sitting in a theater and watching the Wizard of Oz? I was enthralled and terrified all at the same time. I saw it in Fayetteville, Tenn.
