Nickelodeon movie theater

Nickelodeon is an older term referring to the small, neighborhood movie theaters or fleapits (as they were also called) in which admission was obtained for 5 cents (American). Nickelodeons were popular during the 1920s and 1930s; they were often one of the few diversions for young people in the United States during the Great Depression as the movie industry continued to grow.
