Bulb Changing 2
Unfortunately, the negatives I of these pictures which I found recently had degraded somewhat, and were shot on hi-speed film which was a big grainy. But perhaps someone can recognize and identify the employees in these pictures? These were taken in 1980.

I believe I was on the left, the second was Scott an usher who was better suited for this job. The third person on the right was an usher, give me time and I will recall. This is when Almi took over from UA and the pole Scott is holding went to the 5 Almi theatres which had numerous ceiling lights out. How are you Jim. I’m at the Kings in Brooklyn. A very funny story here. The staircae exit which led to the parking lot had a drainage pipe which was outside this door. My first night there, a double feature “Smokey and the Bandit” & “"Airport ‘77” for 78 cents. During the showing of “Airport'77” while the plane hits the water and starts sinking, a terrential downfall of rain hit (and someone turned the drain pipe outside toward the exit door) and the rain spewed in through that door and filled the orchestra and the rows you are seeing were underwater. (Just as the plane went underwater, so did the theatre. They audience clapped and the show went on without disruption). People were saying it was the best visual effects they’d seen in a theatre. For those who had cars in the back parking lot, they waded in their shorts and short dresses through the water to the parking lot exit and just took off their shoes. At the time it was not so funny, but now it is absolutely hilarious!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
