WEBVTT BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE AGAIN. >> THIS WAS BUILT IN THE 20'S. SO MANY GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE SAW THEIR FIRST MOVIE HERE THEIR FIRST KISS UP IN THE BALCONY. I LIKE THINKING OF WHAT KIND OF HISTORY THAT MADE FOR THOSE PEOPLE. LAURA: LARRY SLOAN OWNS THE TALENT FACTORY THEATER IN NEVADA. HE'S TRANSFORMED THE ONCE OLD MOVIE THEATER INTO A LIVE PERFORMANCE COMEDY CLUB. BUT LARRY AND HIS STAFF NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD FIND A PIECE OF HISTORY RIGHT INSIDE. >> IT WAS SITTING RIGHT HERE UPON THIS LEDGE RIGHT HERE. LAURA: WHILE WORKING ON RENOVATIONS, THEY SPOTTED IT LODGED IN FLOORBOARDS HERE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. >> IT WAS PLASTIC. SO THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND IS THIS MUST BE CHILD'S , WALLET. I HAD NO IDEA HOW OLD IT WOULD BE. LAURA: BUT A CLUE INSIDE THE WALLET REVEALED JUST HOW OLD. >> A POCKET CALENDAR. THAT SAID 1944, AND I THOUGHT WOW. ,LAURA: THERE'S ALSO RATION STAMPS FROM THE WAR, A BOY SCOUT CARD, OLD FADED PHOTOS, AND THE BIGGEST CLUE. >> HIS HANDWRITTEN ID, THAT OF COURSE SAID CLARE MCINTOSH. , AND IT SAID IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, CONTACT R.E MCINTOSH, COLO, IOWA, TELEPHONE NUMBER 8. JUST 8 AND I THOUGHT, WOW THAT'S OLD. LAURA: BUT WHO WAS THE MYSTERIOUS CLARE MCINTOSH? >> WHEN WE ARE DOING SOMETHI LIKE THAT 71 YEARS LATER, THE HOPES OF FINDING THEM ALIVE AN WELL OUR KIND OF SMALL. >> SO YOU'RE THE FAMOUS CLARE MCINTOSTH. >> I GUESS SO. LAURA: BUT 85-YEAR-OLD CLARE MCINTOSH IS VERY MUCH ALIVE. AND MONDAY, HE GOT TO SEE HIS WALLET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE WAS 15. >> IT'S UNREAL. THIS IS MY SISTE THIS IS MY BOY SCOUT CARD. LAURA: LARRY, A FORMER INVESTIGATOR, USED HIS SKILLS TO TRACK DOWN CLARE, WHO LIVES JUST OUTSIDE DES MOINES. >> I SAID, I THINK I FOUND YOUR WALLET. HE SAID, WELL, I HAVEN'T LOST MY WALLET. >> I THOUGHT, AT IT MUST BE SOME FIRST, SORT OF A JOKE, BUT I THOUGHT, WELL IT COULDN'T BE. LAURA: NO JOKES HERE. JUST A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE.
