Hi Everyone, I just posted the Review Journal photo of the Bugsy Malone promotional. Sorry it took so long. No I don’t have the date it was taken. I also posted pics of a Redrock 11 matchbox. It was great fun and a privilege to work there. One thing to note is that there were celebrities who would show up to attend movies. I remember Mel Torme.

Hi Kevin Moseley, I remember your father. I have many fond memories of the Redrock. My job working at the Redrock was my first one as a teenager. You father was my first boss. Working at the Redrock was the best job ever. It was so fun to work in such a fun and beautiful environment. There was nothing like it. When Horst was in town the carousel was turned on. It was like Christmas. All year it reminded me of Disneyland. Working with fellow teens from area high schools meant lots of new and best friends. I remember Rory and Pat who were projectionists there. At the time I worked there Rory parked his Rolls in back by the entrance. The young men usually worked as ushers and the young ladies worked as candy girls. After some time one could work up to ticket sales/cashier. We all clocked in with our time cards in a back room in the plaza area and put on our red vests or red aprons over our white shirts and black pants. The theater food was good. The hotdogs on the rotating cooker with the buns in a warmer steamer were good. There was real butter ladled onto the freshly popped popcorn which was melted by the bricks in warmers. There was an old fashioned ice cream parlor over in the plaza area. No one loved working up in “Siberia” which was up a ramp to the right of the main lobby where one could find a small coffee shop and a few theaters. Lonesome territory when everyone else was in the main lobby or plaza area. I do have a promotional picture of the cashier’s cage in the plaza area taken with ushers dressed up like Bugsey Malone characters. It is too bad the theater was sold and changed and then later demolished. Would love to get copies of the pictures you posted. Thanks.
