I went to the Plaza theater from the time I was 10 years old until I left Hawthorne when I was 18. Also went back when I visited my relatives. I would go get chinese food in Inglewood and hit the movie at the Plaza….It was allowed back then…That started in 1943, many moons ago.

I worked as an usherette, in 1950 or 1951, at the united artist theater for the premier of Quo Vadis. I had all the dialogue memorized from hours of standing in the isles waiting to guide/seat the patrons. We had our uniformes custom made for the grand ocassion. I especally loved Peter Ustinov in the role of Nero. It was my first job in the world.
