The employee break room was upstairs. There was a door in the back of Cinema I, the big theatre. The regional manager’s office was up there too. I worked concession and was promoted to box office cashier. When we showed Snow White the line was down the street and we sold out show after show. I couldn’t take a break and Mr. Manthey brought me a Hershey bar, some popcorn in a paper cup sleeve and a drink. That was an absolute no no. Food and drink was never allowed in the box office, but we were slammed. Good times.

I worked there from 76 to 78. I loved Dave and Rita. Frank was Rita’s brother in law. He was married to her sister. I babysat for Dave’s kids occasionally. Rita had a gruff exterior, but if you got to know her she was great and a lot of fun. The Cinema was a wonderful place to work as a teenager.
