Hi to all,
I am Janice (Kinser) DeRamus and I worked as a cashier at the Orpheum Theatre from Oct. 1956 to June 1958. Oh what a time I had there. Between my sister, Carla, and myself we were the cashiers for the Orpheum. She left in June 1957. Can’t remember just when my little sister, Judy, started working at the Orpheum, but believe it was after Sept. 1957. Oh, “THOSE WERE THE DAYS.”
Some of the names I can remember are the Edge twins (Elinor & Lynn), Bill Santee, Bob Steward, Bettye Suter and her parents (can’t remember Mom’s name, but DAD we called T-Bone Suter), Mike Hellwege, Richard Vaughn, think maybe Blaine Walters, and the concession girl I believe was named Lucille. Anyway, she was married and had some children.
Mr. Dale Hellwege was our manager. When we had matinees during school days Mrs. Hellwege would work the box office. I remember those big heavy velvet drapes and all the decor. When I worked there the box office was built out, sort of on the sidewalk, but the entrance to it was from the lobby.
I’d love to hear from some of the old Orpheum cronies.
