Ann M. Martin's Dear Reader Letter[]

In Stacey’s Movie, Stacey and her classmates have a chance to make a movie of their own using a video camera. What a great project. When I was Stacey’s age, videos and video cameras didn’t even exist! I saw my very first movie when I was five years old. My dad took me to the Garden Theater in Princeton, NJ, to see Swiss Family Robinson. My ticket cost fifty cents. My dad told me that the first movie he ever saw at the Garden, sixteen years earlier, cost him a nickel.

The year that I saw that first movie was 1960. In 1960, you couldn’t go to a store and buy or rent a movie to watch on your television. You had to go to a theater. The first movie I ever saw more than once was The Sound of Music. Not long after that, I saw Mary Poppins four times — so you can tell how much I liked that movie! As I grew older, I began to watch scarier movies. By the time I was about thirteen, one of my favorite movies was Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. My friend Beth liked it too. We tried to time our sleepovers, which were usually held at Beth’s house, for nights when The Birds was going to play on TV. Now that I’m an adult, I still love going to the movie theater, but renting a movie to watch at home is a lot of fun too. If I were a student at SMS, I would love Stacey’s Short Takes class!
