The First Nickelodeon
By Howard Wyman

I grew up in the Midwest during the 1940's and I recall that we did
not use the term "juke box".  At that time we called the coin-operated
record players "nickelodeons".  

As a postscript, I am also old enough to remember when the hit record
by Teresa Brewer started playing on the radio.
