When I was at the ABC, Huddersfield, one of the staff members, one Mrs Harvey, often used to speak to me about her time at the Curzon, Huddersfield. She worked there for a number of years, the last few being for Hutchinson’s Ltd for whom she was Acting Manager during the final year before the Curzon’s compulsory purchase by Huddersfield Council ( a Philistine lot by any standards when you consider the lost opportunities at both the ABC Ritz and the Palace).
She told me about the hair raising instances involved by sharing the ‘Pathe News’ with the ABC Ritz (where she eventually ended her cinematic years)in addition to the occasion when FTS inadvertently delivered ‘Summer Holiday’ to the Curzon instead of the ABC. She said to the Curzon manager “Can’t we show it as it has been delivered here?”. You can imagine his response!
Anyway, Hutchinsons Ltd valued Molly Harvey enough to invite her to assist her former Manager at the Regent Fleetwood following closure of the Curzon and this she did for a year or so from 1967.
