Merry widow did not close in 1955. I ushered there until I left in March of 1956. The concession stand was also accesible from the inside of the theatre. The manager at that time was Bob Lawson. The candy girl was Pat Patterson. There were also balconies on each side of the projection booth, but there never used to my knowledge.
