Yes I remember a Matron/usher named Mrs. Davis. I attended many,many a “kiddie” matinee on Saturdays from 1953 to 1957. Mrs.Davis oversaw us “kiddies” for some of those years. If I recall she was 5'2"ish, a bit stout,possibly had white hair,and naturally,always wore a white uniform.Of that I’m sure. Her post was at the back of the theatre. She would patrol the aisles if necessary.She kept us ruley in the water fountain line,and would lift you up if you needed help reaching the stream of water. I always thirsty, so took large drinks. I recall Mrs.Davis once chiding me “not to drink up the whole fountain.” I didn’t like that.I seem to recollect that on occasion she worked the concession stand as well.
I graduated from Lafayette High School,in Brooklyn,in 1967.The graduating class numbered approximately 1500 students!(I think the entire student population was close to 6000!!) The school auditorium could not accomodate 1500 students and 2 guests per graduate. So graduation ceremonies were held on a weekday morning at,you guessed it, The Albemare.
