Yes,we wore uniforms and carried flashlights. I remember during the time I worked there (1956) they exchanged our old uniforms for a new “modern” style uniform. If I remember correctly, we went from a short jacket with a bow tie to a suit length jacket with a regular tie. I believe they were dark blue. We used to change our clothes in one of the old dressing rooms behind the stage on an upper floor.

I worked as an usher at the Midway during the summer of 1956 while a student at NE High. I was paid 60 cents per hour and I remember one of my jobs was to wake people up after the last show who were asleep.
