As a child, I spent many afternoons at the Verdi. My father was the manager during the 1930s & 1940s. Many a day I had to go into the bathtub at my home after visiting the Verdi in order remove my clothes and look for fleas. During WWII, my job was to take the burned out bulbs and break them in the adjoining alley in order to recover the copper bases for the War effort. Many happy moments were spent at the Verdi.
Joe Bauer was my great uncle. My grandmother was Katinka Loew(Bauer). And yes, as a child I played on the turntable at Hillside Manor while visiting Joseph and Minnie.
