Four three or four years, Kay and her partner Wilmetta "Teeny" Stockton lived and worked in Mill Creek Valley, an African-American section of St. Louis. Kay and Teeny loved to go to the local movie palace, but the selection of films was sketchy fror a number of reasons, including post-war shortages and a low-income neighborhood.
Sometimes the "new" movies which showed up at neighborhood theaters were actually years old. Kay and Teeny used to joke that they'd gone to see the 1946 version of the film "Luxury Liner," only to find that they'd bought tickets for the 1933 version.
