when did richard allen go to the movies?




Those are the approximate prices of the various items in Richard's list in 1925 or so.  I could only find a 1935 hot dog price, but the five cent hotdog (at Nathan's, in New York) stayed constant for quite a few years after 1935, so it's not impossible they were the same price in the mid-Twenties; I assumed one hot dog per meal, three meals a day for the seven days.  Given the prices I found for movies, comics, candy bars, and hot dogs, we can figure "games" cost about 75 cents each.  In 1908, admission to see the San Francisco Seals play baseball set you back 50 cents, so 75 cents in 1925 is probably about right. 

Sounds like a pretty good week.
