My condolences to his family.
From Boxoffice magazine, March 1956:
ALBANY-Bernard “Barney” Vane, 59, who had served for 24 years as a projectionist at the Leland, died Saturday at his home. He lived in Albany for 46 years.
By the ‘50s the Leland had become home to exploitation and borderline artsy skin flicks, along with the occasional racy European import that our local Catholic diocese told us we were forbidden to see.
A Robert-Morton theater organ was installed in the Leland Theater in 1922.
