Costume or Uniform? A new Hoyts usherette uniform was introduced with the opening of the Sydney Regent in 1928. It featured a dark red pleated skirt with gold buttons down the front, and a light blue jacket with gold lace. The Theatrical Employees Union claimed this to be a ‘costume’ and lodged a claim for 30 shillings a week loading on top of the normal fifty two shillings and sixpence wage (36 hour week). Having won the case, Hoyts also introduced the uniform in other Regents.
