I was a projectionist at the Apollo from 1974 until it’s closure in 1983.The chief projectionist was the late Mannie Moorhouse.We were both on duty for the final screenings.Friday 13th Part Three as you say in screen 1…I wish I could remember what was showing in cinemas 2 and 3 but time has eroded the memory.But it was a sad day…Mannie had been there since the 50’s,even during the ‘Bingo’ years.I will try and add some photos if possible.
