My grandfather, Patrick Marmion, was projectionist at the Washington throughout my youth and up until he died around 1963-64. He used to take me into the booth during movies and let me watch him change reels! The manager’s name was Christ Paschoff and he was the one that gave out the guitars. Surprisingly though, in all of the piles of films and photos belonging to my greandpa, there were NONE of the beautiful Washington Theater! If anyone can send me ANY photos I’d be forever greatful!
