      @ Not true. New Left democrats were against it, blue dog democrats were for it. Republicans like MLK were against it, but others didn’t care (i.e. separate but equal is good enough), didn’t want “those people” in their country clubs, or used a “states’ rights” and miscegenation argument.

      Of course, most theaters don't care, sometimes even seeing my snacks and bottled drink they don't even say anything.

Get all of your friends to point out your friend with the popcorn to a staff member as soon as you walk in and you all walk out with more money than you started with. Just share the extra money with your popcorn eating friend and you can go to a movie you actually want to watch and then out for a meal afterwards and be no worse off than the start of the evening

    This would have sunk the movie theater industry in Oregon entirely, and been a major blow to the film industry as a whole. Movie theaters barely break even from ticket sales, hence the steep price of concessions. If Walker's bill had passed, cinemas would have lost money by being forced not only to stop selling their most popular of said concessions, but to pay out refunds and bounties to prospective popcorn eaters and their respective tattletales.
    This would also be hot off the heels of United States v. Paramount, an antitrust case that broke down vertical integration in the film industry. Not only that, the Television was slowly entering living rooms across the country, causing film to really need to step up its game if it wanted to compete.
    The 50s were a time when the cinema experience was filled with glamorous innovations, huge color and widescreen spectacles, classy roadshow engagements, and with that came increased operating costs. If an entire state was left out of that equation, the Silver Age of Hollywood would have had much less momentum. If, God forbid, the bill had passed and other republican states got similar ideas (as they tend to do when one passes a successful bill), one can only imagine the damage done to Hollywood, Movies, and American culture as a whole.
