Oh another thing I forgot – Carol was the usher for Aisle 2 when she got fired for trying to convince latecomers to wait a few minutes for a Hitchcock movie to end so they could see it from the beginning & mess up the ending for themselves. The couple complained to the manger because they wanted to sit down right then. When the Pacific closed years later, the people in charge had heard about the Hitchcock movie story and presented Carol with the original door to Aisle 2 which Carol had put up in her home as the door leading to her family room. Pretty cool story!!
Carol Burnett said the uniforms looked like a cross beween Harum costumes and Bukingham Palace guard uniforms – Harem pants, short jackets with gold epulets on the shoulders and a fez looking hat. Mr Batton was the mgr at that time.
In her current book, “This Time Together” Carol Burnett says she worked at the Warner Theater at Wilcox and Hollywood Blvd in the summer of 1951 when she was attending UCLA. She lived one block from the theater on Wilcox and Yucca. She earned 65 cents an hour at the Warner Theater!
