Anyone who worked for the Plainview Theatre,(which by the way was located in Hicksville) there is a Facebook site, named Plainview Movie Theater Group. Check it out. Meet some old friends. Bob L.
That would have been me Vito. I was Chief of Service. Lets not forget the donuts from Dunkin Donuts next door. I don’t remember to Fox product trick. Bob L.
It was my pleasure to work at the Plainview Theatre for 10 years (from 1965 to 1975) as an usher and marquee changer. I worked there while I was in college and part-time there after. My first film was My Fair Lady. After that we had several other hard ticket 70mm films such as; The Sand Pebbles, The Shoes of the Fisherman, Oliver and the re-releases of Ben-Hur and Gone With the Wind. The theatre had 1582 seats, with a balcony, lodge and ochestra. It was a fun time and to this day I still keep in touch with some of my Plainview Theatre alumni.
Best wishes to any other alumni out there
