There was another usher, who looked like Alfred E. Newman, who got punched in the mouth by a teenager with an attitude in the early 1960’s. There was also a fake rumble in the aisles while West Side Story was on the screen. I remember the first X rated movie being shown, “I am curious yellow.”
In the late 1960’s a woman named Grace, who also ran the GEM grocery on Amboy Avenue, worked the ticket box. As a kid in the 1950’s I remember when they raised the Saturday matinee from 25 cents to 35 cents. Alot of kids got burned. On snowy day back then the line wrapped around the city hall with kids waiting to see the Disney film about Perry the flying squirrel.
