A Little Bethesda History
from William Offutt's Bethesda - A Social History
Prewar Boom (WWII)
Both of Bethesda’s movie theaters printed weekly programs,
usually showed a movie for only two or three days and
screened first-run films a few weeks after they closed
downtown. The Bethesda showed "Gone With the Wind" in May
1940 on a reserved seat basis for seventy-five cents at
matinees and $1.10 in the evenings. The renovated Hiser
capitalized by reviving "Birth of a Nation" with added music
and sound effects. On Saturdays the theaters competed for
the bubble gum trade with stage shows and double features
plus adventure serials and cartoons. One Saturday the Hiser
offered free candy with cash prizes, an hour of comedies,
two new serials: "Mandrake the Magician" and "Oregon Trail,"
plus Gene Autry and Jane Withers in "Shooting High," and on
another Saturday afternoon Lust's Bethesda theater countered
with a real magician on stage before the cartoons and the
double feature.
"The community is bound to grow ," said a ‘prominent’
Bethesdan” “ As a matter of fact there is nothing we can do
to stop its growth if we wanted to. The important thing is
to join together in a teamwork that will direct its growth
so that we'll all I enjoy the quality of the community life
as well as the quantity."
