Haven’t heard about John Kenney Nick. I know Ray Kenney Jr. passed away awhile ago; by the Way Nick, thanks so much for the info on your movie.
Mike Kenney is still around and still Married to Betty (Hannifin), remember her mom Molly, used to work at La Bon Bon,– in the kitchen, preparing sandwitch’s a few days a week. Jean Latere was there at lunch most of the time.
Nick, most of this is after you time. I’m speaking about a time from 1964-1967, for me.
Yes, I do have many Pictures of the old Warner Brothers group.
They go WAY, back, to the day’s my Dad was an usher and Fire Marshall,prior to the depression.
Wonderful wide shots of Warner manager’s at Dinner Parties, even a Photo of my Dad, with Ann Sheridan,this was my dad’s most treasure Photo.
I was a Senior @ LEO High School, got home somehow and then went to work @ the Bev. ($1.50 an hour-For the Chief of Service—ME).
My Friend Bill Partman and his girlfriend, and the girl who was my steady, wound up getting to the SHOW, witch wa closed and we shovedled and had such a great time.
I Gotta say, remembering the 1967 snow storm was one of the BEST Day’s of my life!!!!!!!!
I was the Chief then, Thursday, COS always worked on Thursday-sign change ya know.
My Dad worked at the Capitol, started as an usher, then Chief, was at the Avalon,Rhodes, then back to be Manager @ the Capitol up to 1956—his name is Richard T. Barry—knew the Coston’s vey well.
I grew up @ 8012 S. Peoria and I am so Glad things are so safe there.
The 6th District has the 2nd highest rate of Murders in the City.
Leo High School has gone from 1200 intergated students to 300 students in a segragated setting that still depends on it White alumni to keep the School going.
Merchants have been driven out because of there ethnaticity—ie:
Korean, Arab, Jewish etc.
No theatres left, no Fine Dining, no shopping malls (remember 69th and Halsted was a mall that Failled, because of Crime.)
He was the Manager during the war Years and they always had Live show. I have ALOT of Pictures and the one he Loved most was the Picture of him and Ann Sheridan.
The Annex was resteraunt, but next door to the North was POPCORN JOE’s, then the Bus Turn around, then the Auburn Park Chamber of Commerice (my dad way the Secretary) Then the Annax.
My dad was the Manager there for quite some time.
He left I believe in 1956 and went to work as an Engineer for the Chicago BOE.
OMG ken I just saw you post about my DAD, thanks so much.
You know during the Depression my Dad,(Richard BArry) was the Chief of Service and FIRED his brother (Edward, Bus Barry), my Grandmother made my dad hire hem back——it’s such a funny Story.
I remember in 1964, as an usher making 80 Cents an hour. I worked Over time,getting in at 8 am on Saturdays and Sundays and using Carbon Tetnacloride to remove gum from the carpet.
OMG, if OSHA was around then, well you know.
We would fill the cap from the gallon drum of Carbon Tec., pour it on the gum, then scrape it up with a putty knife. No wonder my mind won’t let me count over 7—-1,2,3,4,15!!!!!!
