Skyfire, While you were usher at the Valley, I was usher and subsequently ticker taker ( a big promotion at the time) at the Westwood. My parents were friends and neighbors of the Wiethe Family who lived on Harrison Ave in Westwood. I suspect your manager was Louis Wiethe Jr., son of the owner. I recall that ED Wiethe also had managerial duties at the Valley. Ed was a great guy and was Lou Sr’s brother.
I worked at the Westwood from the late 1940’s thru mid 1950’s. Wiethe family sold out to S & S Amusement co in early 50’s as I recall. S & S also owned the Cheviot Theatre and the large Twin Drive In on Reading Road.
Hi, I remember Mr. Wiethe, along with Lou Jr. and Ed Wiethe very well.
