The projector was in the building. Of course, films were silent back in those days. It was quite a thrill to sit there on dry land and look at a movie being shown out on pilings in the Atlantic Ocean with the waves breaking underneath. Especially when the moon would come up. A very delightful scene. Yes, very. We kids used to go up there, walk up from Columbia Street, me and Arrington and Sister, walk up to the Lumina and stand underneath and watch the movies, and join a lot of other people that were there. Sometimes, it’d be low tide where you’d have no problem, but sometimes at high tide, the water would just keep coming back to where we were sitting on Coca-Cola crates enjoying it until we’d have to stand there in knee-deep water to see the end of the movie.” After moonrise, Lumina became a stage for musical acts and formal dances. “Those dances they held at Lumina were fabulous. All the girls’d dress up in their party dresses. The men always had a tie and a coat on. The summer regalia was usually a blue coat with white trousers, you know, with white shoes or black and white shoes or brown and white shoes. Very formal-like. Genteel. When a boy took a girl to a dance back in those days, he could expect her boyfriends to break in on him while he was dancing, and that consisted of what they called ‘cut-ting in.’ What a boy would do if he wanted to dance with a girl who was dancing with another fellow, he would go up and touch the boy’s elbow, and if the girl knew the fellow, no problem. And if not, the other fellow would introduce him, if he knew him, to this girl, and then they would dance on for a while ’til the next number. Popular girls were being broken all the time. And they’d dance with ten, 12, 15 people at a dance, the popular ones. They usually got in a particular area where everybody knew they were there, you know. Who I remember particularly was Catherine Alexis, who married one of the Emerson boys — she was very popular and she had her own set up there — and boys would line up and break in to dance with her.” Michelle Clark, ALHS, SFR, SRES® Accredited Luxury Home Specialist | Broker/Realtor 910.367.9767 | mclark@intracoastalrealty.com Kelly Strickland | 910.612.6537 • Linda Woods | 910.233.8900 Susan Snider | 910.622.4394 • Carey Harris | 910.233.4511 Wendy McElhinney | 910.515.5495 • Allison Long | 910.520.5949 307 Cabbage Inlet Stunning home off Masonboro Sound Road $775,000 2120 Scotts Hill Loop ICW front with ocean views 23 Forest Hills Drive Desirable neighborhood 3405 Graylyn Terrace Wonderful family home in Providence 6009 Joshua’s Landing 20’ slip near Wrightsville Beach “Michelle was absolutely wonderful!
