I was an usher at the Randolph theater for one year between May 1957 and April 1958. Charlie Wood was an assistant manager at the time. I worked there during presentations of the Ten Commandments, Wild is the Wind, April Love, Chances Are, and The Helen Morgan Story, as I recall. During the film showings Charlie and I would stand at the glass doors admiring the beautiful women of Chestnut Street as they strolled by. It was a great time to be an usher when ushering movie goers down the aisle was considered a valuable service and a recognition of the Keith’s Theater vaudville era.
Thank you Howard. That worked.

Thank you for your interest and directions Howard, but when I google I get Truman Library info. What pg.130 and 153 are you refering to?
