The Classic, the Centre, the Roxy , the Savoy or the Drive-In – there were movies all over Owen Sound in 1951. According to the ads in the Herald, the theatres competed with each other with offers of double bills, air conditioning, special children's matinees with added cartoons and serials, and Sunday midnight shows.
