The coffee house was called the “Orion"
Accross the alley was the back door for Edinburough Castle. The bartender would go to Larkin St to pick up fish & chips for customers
(not allowed in the theater)

I worked at Cento Cedar in 1967-68, I believe.
I was hired by Hans to hand out fliers in Union Square for a French film, “War of the Buttons” during a newspaper strike.

Hans was the projectionist and his wife, Lila, chose the films.
They were required to hire a union projectionist 2 days a week to avoid conflicts.

Many fond memories
