I have got to correct one thing. The dates.
I was the manager of the Steinway Theater from 1970 until 1972 working for United Artists. So I know for a fact that it didn’t close in the 50’s.
It was a wonderful house to work in. All the old dressing rooms backstage and the organ in the orchestra pit that at the time still worked. I can still remember carrying those film cans with 4 & 5 reels up to the booth. UP 4 flights. No elevator!!!
I saw someone mentioned the side door; I use to go through hell keeping the kids from sneaking in that way. They would get together and pool their money and buy one ticket.
That person would watch the ushers and when the time was right they would open that side door and the whole world would come rushing in.
Warren you ARE RIGHT.. Man it sucks to get old….
They say the mind is the second thing to go.
I forgot what the first thing was.. LOL….
Who is your brother? I was the manager from 1970 until 1971 when I was transfered to the Steinway Theater in NYC.
