My name is RoseMarie Randazzo Pellegrinelli, I lived at 3232 Fulton Street where my parents owned Animated Toy Company from 1942 until I married at Blessed Sacarment in 1962. In the early 40’s my Father would rent the movies from the Embassy Theatre and show them to our family, friends and employee’s. Sometime he would set up his projector at the Convent for the Nun’s to see some of the movies. I loved the Embassy, as a little girl I paid 25 cents and latter 26 cents, the extra penny was for tax. The Treatre to me was majestic when you walked in it was like walking into Hollywood, the Red Velvet drapes and red rugs were so lavish. You are right about the ushers, they were scary in their white uniform and holding their searchlight. But it was very well controlled and I felt safe there.
