I worked as an Usher at the Glen Oaks in 1981-2. I transferred there from the Floral. The manager when I first arrived was Bob Schroeder. When he left there was a succession of managers, among them: Walter Schweigert, Bob Emmanuel (who later married cashier Elaine), Bobby Wong and Rob Davidian. Funny—as I write this now, I’m just noticing how many Roberts there were as manager.:)
nhpbob: I saw Rocky there, too at that time—numerous times.:) I was thrilled to have moved around the corner from a movie theater in 1975. I think the first film I saw there was The Towering Inferno.
I worked as a Doorman at the Floral in 1980. It was well-worn, but it had some nice architecture and atmosphere—not quite as grand as the Keith’s, but it had some character. My manager at the time was a man named Myron Katz. Does anyone remember him? He was something of a character. I recall he used to make some awkward attempts at conversation while I was working the door. I always wondered what happened to him. I ended up being transferred to the Glen Oaks Theater, which was right around the corner from my apartment. Not as nice a theater, but it beat riding my bike all that distance.:)

Hey, Kitnoir.:) I don’t think I was one of the ones who played Simon. I was pretty shy and a bit younger than the others there (I was only 16).
