Chuck 1231 we also let policemen and firemen in,they had to sign the doormans log and give their badge numbers,never had the police take us to the bank though.
You are so right Mike, I know of a Manager who thought of doing that,not me,but I remember one weekend we were packed a 007 movie I believe with box office and concessions money we dropped about $27,000.00 one weekend. WE even ran out of deposit bags and had to break our rule of no more than $1000.00 deposits at a time.We would also get a change check of $1000.00 when we knew we would be very busy to have enough change, we would have to redeposit that $1000.00 by Monday also.
WE were not to Drop more than one bag at a time.Or deposit more than one at a time. We did sometimes just to save time,The Bank was right across Church Street from the Loews Crescent so we felt safe,as you could see us from the lobby.
Also the screening room was never used in my time,it must not have been used much it had seats just like the theatre but they looked brand new.The seats in the theatre were well used 415 on each side 830 total.
More info on the Loews Crescent it was in a 4 story office building,with elevator,screening room,booth.City Managers office upstairs,you had to go in an other entrance to the right of the lobby to get to the offices and booth,and to get to the elevator.There was a loading dock and storage area behind the screen.My office was behind the concession stand.The E-Z Loan company was over the Lobby.
So Gus was a Bust!And good no last show,that did not happen much,you can go home early after you call in the numbers,After 11:00 P.M. I will try to remember some of our DUDS!
Did you have an adding machine Mike???WE had the old timey type with the roll of paper on it. Our City Manager would not tear off the paper after using the adding machine and would reroll the paper backwards and use it again, he said it saved the company money.
Same to you Mike, Never had a Palace in Nashville that I know of. There was a Loews Palace in Memphis though. Elvis worked at the Loews State there.He got fired I have heard.
Mike we always showed ALL the Disney flicks at the Loews Melrose and Loews Madison,big business,lots of “RUGRATS” aka Kids as we called them.
Nice photos.
With a name like “Fireweed” I bet they sold a lot of popcorn.
Yeah you are right Mike Loews was pretty “tight”!!
Maybe that the would not want to play “JFK” at the Texas Theatre in Dallas,Texas.Know what I mean?
