Back in the Dark Ages when I was 12. (1950) my mother would give me a quarter. The Saturday Matinee ( most likely something inappropriate for kids, we watched Ray Milland in Lost Weekend. Look it up.) was 12 cents. A coke and a candy bar were 5 cents each. This was at the Leimert Theater in Los Angeles.
