I worked in this theater in 1953. I couldn’t stand the uniforms they made us wear, so I quit and worked at the Rivoli where they didn’t have uniforms. A guy named Sloane was the manager and the asst’s name was Allsop. Not a fun job.

Minimum wage in those days…$0.65 per hour

Hate to see monuments from ones past bite the dust. I worked at the Rivoli in late 1953 qnd 1954. Tore tickets, sold goodies, and set the marque. What a time. Also, ancient history. :)
