{im in my 6s now ané used to love going to
the cinema when Iwas ki. Back inthe 1950s,
there used to be a thing called Children's
Matinee at the cinema in the town where
ve lived. t-was wonderfull Every Saturday
morning, the cinema would show fms for
ids — only kids. They showed cartoons and
cooy fms, adventure fins, detective films
and science fiction — everything that id loved
backthen (and guess they stil do)

films while stuffing ourselves with foo.
We loved the cartoons — we laughed a lot;
ur favourite was always Tom and Jerry and we
cheered when we saw the opening pictures.
And then there were the adventure fis. The
plots were often terrible, and the dialogues
too, butwe really didnt care after al, we were
kids! We used to boo the villains and cheer the
heros. Some kids used to throw popcorn atthe
screen when the villain came on ~ the cinema
slaff sometimes tried to stop us but usually
they gave up! The ending was always completely
predictable of course ~ the hero always won,
