O.K., I didn't know if Adam West was in any Movies when He was the TV
Batman.
Thanks for the update.

The theater's name is Crescent Hill, not Crescent as I wrote earlier.
Memory flops occure behind the keyboard here as well as inside the pc.

I never saw a Superman Serial, the first Superman movie I saw was at
a theatre in the late 1940's or early 1950's and it was in B&W of course.

It showed His parents putting the baby in a rocket and sending it away
from the planet Krypton towards Earth.

I can't remember the theatre's name at the moment, but it was located
on the South side of Chestnut Street between 3rd and 4th Streets in
Louisville, Kentucky.

Back then Lincoln Park was on the other side of Chestnut Street before
the Grants and J. C. Penny Department Stores were built on that land.
