I worked at the Adelphit starting in 1958, were I met my wife to be.
We are still married today. I started as an usher & she was a candy girl. We both worked are way up the corporate ladder to assistant manager & head casher. The manager at the time was Howard Lambert.
I still remember the dark & spooky basement. I would have to go down there & stoke the furance in the winter. Also the candy was stored down there in the tin lined ice room ( ice was stored there for the air conditioning before central air). We even found a stalk of popcorn growing out of a crack in the floor, with little or no light.
One of my jobs as an usher waqs to change the canopy for the new movies. It took a 14' step ladder and a lot of streching in rain, snow, & ice. OSHA would not have approved.
We still keep in touch with several of our coworkers. We have many found menories of the Adelphi. Would love to hear from any customers are former employees from 1958 – 62
