Have not been on the site for awhile. I remember eating that prepopped and trucked in from Denver popcorn over the years I worked there. Ben was free spirit and he really did not affect me too much because I had to grow up and move on with life after we worked together there. He treated me well though.
I always thought this was the most beautiful modern theater in town and never could figure out the lack of blockbuster business. During the week we were really dead. The new multiscreen lack a certain class of the old single screen houses, though in this day and age it seems about right.I really hope people in the theater management end make decent money now!!!
I think Al had a brother named Ted, but maybe that was his first mane and he used Al. Walker was the assistant when I started there.I worked initially for a Mgr. named Richard Hosman, when I was an usher. I think when he left he took a job with General out of the St. Louis area.It was in unincorporated but the building is in Sunset Hills now.
Worked there 72-77, HS and College years for me. Great building, made a lot of friends and had fun! Started at $1.10 /hour.It never did the business that NG or Mann intended during my time there.Projectionist’s made a whopping $7/hour at the time I left! Remember projectionists? We had a cutting premier of Towering Inferno(of course the real one.I still can’t drive by and not smile! Many things innacurate about the history above, but cleaned up by other posts! The history in the lobby of Two Hearts is wrong also! My last Mgr. was Ben Littlefield! Split into a twin by Wehrenberg before closing after I left.

Al Savage was the house projectionist when I was there and I believe he was the Pres.of the Union. I can’t remember any of the other guys!
