I have fond memories of the Centre. I worked as an usher one year shortly after graduating from Lakewood High School in 1958. Sleeping Beauty by Disney was playing along with the Grand Canyon Suite. The lines wrapped around the corner. One line was on the east side of the theatre to buy tickets then ticket holders had to join the line on the west side of the building. My job was to make sure people were standing in the correct line. I would stand and say, in a loud voice, “this line is for people who have their tickets, if you do not have your ticket please join the line on the east side of the theatre”. After awhile everyone would join in and give the speech with me. We wore fancy uniforms like we were the palace guard. I believe the manager was Mr. Sweeten and the assistant manager was Mr. Goodenough. We were all young, good friends and good parties.
