I worked here from 1972-1974…way below minimum wage, I think it worked out to .50/hr. If I worked 20 hrs, the pay envelope had $15.90 and 40 hours (summer), it had $27.90 in it. New owners/management put up curtains in 1974 and told concessionaires not to be watching the movies (for FREE!!!??!!) and put up curtains so we couldn’t stand in the doorway to stand. White Lightning played there for the longest time in 1973; I had the entire film memorized line-by-line by the time it finished its run.
