I was delighted to come upon this great website .
I worked at the magnificent Granada Theatre at Tooting Broadway
in the very early nineteen sixties .
Charles Shaw was the General Manager . Jim Carson was the Cheif
Projectionist whom I worked under as trainee projectionist ,eventually becoming second projectionist ,doing also work on sound ,lighting ,and props .
The earliest film I remember screening there was “Idol on parade "
starring Anthony Newley .
I was there nearly four years and saw some of the great recording artists of that period performing on our stage to some three thousand fans .
When working on stage ,the shreiks and screams from the girls was competing with the noise from the amplified instruments of the artists .
I would love to share some of the wonderful memories I have of my time there with anyone interested .
