Have you ever taken you house apart and found old stuff? Stuff people forgot in the walls or things that just stood out as old. Taking apart the closet area of the house, I found an old SF Datebook / Pink Section in the wall dated March 1 1959. So what was going on in March 1959 in SF?
Looks like there is a interesting double feature, Hoodlum Girls "Thrill Mad, Without Shame, Wanton and Dangerous " or Teen Age Jungle "Violence and Vice". Haven't heard of those movies but amazingly you can get them still and on DVD even.
Or maybe a dark, philosophic movie like Ingmar Bergman's, "The Seventh Seal". I saw this recently at the Castro Theater so it caught my eye. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to see this when it first came out back in the day. It got a "jumping out of the seat" review. But if you actually read the review, it does review anything. Just a very short description.
It looks like the always popular Jack Benny is in town. Wouldn't want to miss that. And then there is that Disney cartoon. It's in Technarama 70! Who knows, it might take off.

Cool stuff! Seventh Seal sounds interesting. It's something that we might find showing at the Loft here in Tucson. Jack Benny sure looked different back then. Maybe you should do a real dig at your place. Seems like you might be "on top" of something.

COOL! Hey, you could frame it so you have something on the walls!
Wow...what a trip. Forgot all about that old Datebook medallion logo. And the theatre phone numbers with the letter prefixes. And the Little Man, around in 1959!! I was a mere child then.
