"Commercialized entertainment
in the village is confined to the movie house, which has films only once every
two weeks, and the pool hall, which is looked down upon by many of the community's
most substantial citizens. Nevertheless, there are generally a few players to
be seen here in the evenings and a particularly large group on Saturday night."
