Embassy Theatre Ten-O-Win Ticket

By the time I cam around, winner of ten-o-win were paid off in silver dollars. The usherette would scream out the location of the winner, “heeeere in the BAL-con-ny,” then ran to where the winner was, and dropped the silver dollars into a chrome plated bucket she was carrying, loud and clear. One night the winner said “thank you, Mr. McLean” to the theater owner and he told the usherette to drop more silver dollars into the bucket for him.

Thank you for the memory.
