I also remember back in the late 60’s, the Oak Park Theater would have
all night shows on Saturday nights in the summer. The late evening shows tended
to get a bit rowdy causing the theater to stop having them.

Oak Park Theater
On Saturday, March 27th, 1976 the
Oak Park Theater was showing “The Hindenburg”, staring George C Scott and Anne
Bancroft. The Oak Park Theater also featured Saturday Matinees. This particular
Saturday the Matinee was “ The Phantom Toll Booth”. The theater ad stated:
“Mothers, take an hour and a half break and come along with your kids to see
this great show. They’ll drive you crazy but you will thoroughly enjoy the
show. All matinee seats – 75 cents. The upstairs of the theater also had an
separate for parents with small children to watch a movie without disturbing
the rest of the audience.
