My first job was at the Worth Theater in March 1964. The pay was .50 cents per hour. Some movies I remember were “Behold, a Pale Horse”, “Fail Safe”, “Send Me No Flowers”, “A Shot In The Dark”. There were many great movies I can’t recall now.
John B. Miller, sorry I can’t remember you, but Gary Eason hired me. It is difficult to remember many names of other ushers. A major friend was Jerry Wright and Rudy Manus who I later served with in the Navy. Wayne Robinson was a Diamond Hill Jarvis classmate who worked there and I believe the Assistant Manager was George Saunders.
The Manager was a much older man and I believe his last name was Jones. There was also a very elderly black man who did cleanup work.
During the summer, Bob Hope and Henry Mancini stayed at the Hotel next door. I remember we heard they would be meeting their limousine on 7th Street, in front of the Hotel/Theater. We waited and they both greeted us and shook hands. We told them we were all in “show business” too.
