I WAS A UNION PROJECTIONIST THERE IN THE EARLY 70’s. IT WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE SHOWING 2nd RUN FILMS. LUCKILY IT GOT SAVED AND BECAME A LIVE THEATRE FOR MUSICAL EVENTS.

I WAS A FILM PROJECTIONIST AT THIS FAMOUS THEATRE IN EITHER THE EARLY 80’S OR LATE 70’S. IT WAS A UNION JOB. IT WAS A TEMPORARY JOB BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS ON LEAVE. I USED TO GO THERE AS A PATRON IN THE 1950’S!

I WAS A FILM PROJECTIONIST FOR MANY YEARS IN L.A. AND THE NUART WAS FAMOUS FOR BEING NON-UNION!

I WORKED THERE IN 1982 AS A UNION PROJECTIONIST. IT WAS A TWIN USING PLATTERS. JOHN COLTRANE’S SON RAVI DID WORK THERE IN THE SNACK BAR! HE DROVE A BUG WITH RAVI ON HIS PLATE. MY DAD DIED WHILE I WAS THERE. IT WAS A NICE PLACE TO WORK.
