I was an usher at the Jeffery during the early 60’s. The manager at that time was Chris Demos and the assistant was Al Warpenburg. We wore uniforms complete with cardboard dickies and collars and clip on bow ties. We escorted customers to their seats with flashlights and actually made sure everyone was quiet and kept their feet off the seats. The Jeffery was a very popular theater in those days and played many “road show” engagements like Cleopatra complete with intermissions and special concession items. While I worked there it was hit by a tornado which took off the top of the water tower.
