Schoolbook show

With school starting again I notice everyone getting ready. Do you buy your own books anymore? When I grew up in Topeka you had to buy your own textbooks so if you were lucky you used your brothers and sisters old books or bought new ones. Each year the Jayhawk Theater would offer a show that the admittance was an old textbook. We would attend. The last year they had it we went. The theater had not picked well with the movie. It was the story of a doctor who only had one hand but on moonlit nights he would fasten his old hand on and go out and strangle someone. Needless to say it scared all of us kids. They discontinued the movies and I remember that movie on moonlit nights still but have managed to remember other moonlit nights that were pleasant.
