Yeah Mike our guys were “Union Guys” too.Their Business Agent worked out of our building.I will say that they were like the Managers we only drank when we were almost done for the night.They would not let many people in the booth anyway,so who knows whatever else they did up there.
Elias M. Loew 1898-1984,at one time he owned 70 hardtop theatres and 17 drive-ins also a chain of hotels and motels,and a racetrack.He was not related to Marcus Loew.He based his theatres out of Boston,Mass.
Thanks CWalczak,I did not expect such a quick responce on this comment,but I do know that this was a “Roulette Wheel” but it could have been used like you said,it laid down flat and had the groves to catch the balls,although it could have been used for different games like a pinball machine,I know of some other uses for pinball machines besides what they where designed for,a game of chance.Interesting video.I used to run a pool room also so I know a little bit about these kind of things,Thanks again for your responce.
Thanks Dave.
