My grandfather came to Indianapolis from Kentucky when he was a young man back in the 1920’s. His first job, as far as I know, was as an usher in the Indiana theatre. As as I understand, he got the job because he was able to fit in to the uniform.
I also remember my grandmother speaking fondly of the Indiana Roof Ballroom, specifically mentioning the stars on the ceiling. The stars were still there when I was in the ballroom as a teenager. (I’m now 27 years old.)
