I would like to add a story about my employment at the Warner Theatre at 62 Front St., Worcester, Mass. I am a 77-year old man now, having completed 56 years of employment in several facets of the U.S. Government, including 20 years in the USN. During my High School days (Maj. Howard W. Beal, Shrewsbury, Mass) I went to work at the Warner Theatre, working part-time as an usher. It was an unusual situation, in that there were only two male ushers in their employ, all the other employees being female usherettes. I was advised by the manager (also a female) that the law required that at least one male usher be on duty at all times, so I alternated my good fortune with another male usher, whose name escapes me, as do the names of all those lovely usherettes! Though my memory is stretched at my age, I believe my employment at the Warner must have been in 1945/46, since I graduated HS and joined the Navy in 1947. I just thought I would add my recollections to see if anyone else out there can verify my earlier days at the Warner Theatre!
