The last rolling store continued to operate up into the 1960s. I never heard of them showing movies, but it is certainly possible. The one that operated in the Parramore/Two Egg area was owned by Mr. Welch (sorry, I don't recall his first name). He also ran a small store on River Road near Parramore. The last time I remember looking, the old rolling store was still parked there behind the old store building. I'll be back down in Florida late next week and if it is still there, I'll snap a photo of it for you.
