In 1963 I was the Capt of the Ushers Mr.Zotera appointed that to me as he liked me and he was not a heterosexual! He caught me making out with an Usherette in the bathroom and fired me!

Underneath the Stage was a row of small little wooden door makeup rooms for the movie stars that came to the theater to perform. Black and white autograpgh photos were hung in each room by many famous big name stars.

I was born 1947 on Lincoln rd and flatbush ave just around the corner from the Patio and in the lobby there was a round tiled water fountain filled with goldfish each time I went to see a movie with my older brother I stuck my hand in it to catch a fish but by brother always stopped me! I loved that little pond .

on the sie of the building in the alley was the fireexit staircase going all the way up to the top I used to walk up to the top for the view I was about 5 years old and there was a little window at the top next to the exit door, one day the window was open about 6 inched and on the sill was light bulbs I pulled them out and dropped them into the alley like a bomb and listen to the explosion sound that was so much fun!

I moved away in 1952 to Sheepshead bay and the the Theater there had an old lady called the “Maiden” who would kick me out of the middle section and made me sit on the side area
