Bands played in the lobby before the 1968 fire…local bands played before the show, and on occasion, they would take the stage after the show. It had to be 1965 1966. Not a regular thing but the place would be packed when they were there. The manager was very cool Mr. Switzler. I remember the song “On Broadway” being played. Does anyone else remember the bands? Only those over 50 would.
OOPS – I messed up a bit…I can’t believe I found this site…the bands played before the movie in the lobby, and sometimes after the movie on stage. Great memories.
Yes, the name of the Matron at the Movie theater was Yetta Schrubnick…she wore that white uniform, black pointy shoes, and had her blue cardigan sweater draped over her shoulders buttoned only at the neck… let’s not forget the flash light…she threw out all the kids who were blowing jaw breakers through straws…I once beaned her in the head w/ a caramel from the back row to the front row…great shot – how she KNEW it was me I’ll never know…we were not allowed to clap or cheer at the good parts of ANY movie! “Shut up shut up” she would scream running up and down the aisle. Anyone remember the Bands that played in the lobby??
