Yes there was a femail projectionist her name was Pat, she was transferred from the Adephi Hay Mills. Doug Reeves was he the manager?. Was Mr Mathews the assistant manager?. As I recall the district offices were in stirchley. Jack Burdett was the chief Projectionist during my time at the picadilly. regards

This was my first job when I left school in 1964. I started as a Trainee Projectionist. When I left in 1969 I was 2nd Projectionist. The picture brings back memories to me especially when I saw the large light fittings which we had to wind down periodically to clean. The Projectors were Ross ABC projectors with peerless arcs and an RCA sound amplifier. Fond memories
