i worked at fine arts theaters in westport from 1969 till about 75…. those were the days! we all had lots of fun got to see many first run movies which today are classics.the only bad part was changing the marquee on a cold windy night.i still have some posters and stills i will never part with. i hope all my old buddies are doing fine although some i fear have passed …but if your reading this… hello to derek hylton, ernie groual, john hines, scotty, bob roscoe, ect ect ect…

the circuit was owned by bob smerling who owned many theaters in the tri-state area. i also understand the “ships lantern bar and restaurant down the street is gone…they used to slip me booze out the back door before i was 18… its a shame those were great days!!
