Many of my girlfriends and I worked at the Strand in the early 60’s. I worked in the ticket booth. We earned the enormous salary of $1.00 per hour. Of course we always let our boyfriends in for free. My favorite movie that showed at the Strand during that time period was Westside Story. It played for at least a month. I remember the showing of live boxing matches being a big draw. A man named Mr. Poulos owned the theatre at that time and one of the Maucks managed it.
