Lecture: Mission Theatres & SF Trollys | Noe Valley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

During the golden years of moviegoing in the first half of the 20th century, just about everybody went at least once a week. Ten thousand people a day went to the movies in San Francisco on Mission Street alone.

Most of the theatres are gone now, but a couple of them have been in business for more than a century. Jack Tillmany’s presentation offers a guided tour of just about all of SF’s old theaters, from 16th Street through the Mission and Bernal Heights to Daly City, in black and white and in color, along with the many streetcar lines that provided transportation on San Francisco’s longest thoroughfare.

All attendees will receive a free, authentic souvenir of the streetcar era.
