Lou Martin was my grandfather. He changed his last name from Ginsberg back in the early 1940s, and he died in 1963. As a child I used to sit on the ticketseller’s lap and push the buttons to make the tickets come out. The Majestic Theatre was showing horror films all the time then (late 50s), and I was afraid to watch them. That’s why I would spend my time with the ticketseller, or else wandering backstage behind the screen or downstairs in the office.
