In 1947 and 1948 I was an usher at the Geneva Theatre having been hired by Alex Valos.I was 12, but stood at six feet. Another school mate, Daniel Serika was also an usher. The theatre also had a counter grill off to the right and we were allowed to have dinner there. We were paid 75cents an hour. I could also set the marquee for another dollar.We had uniform jackets and wore white shirts with a black bow tie. Saturdays there were special children shows including free Hollywood Comics -actually returns the covers of which had been sliced but a heavy paper with the title Hollywood Comics stapled over them. I rose my bike from my home at 500 Franklin Street to the theatre. I was allowed to keep my bike in the lobby off to the side. My earnings were kept in a savings account. I recall a store to the left of the theatre as you faced it where Scouting uniforms and equipment was sold. Chuck Windsor
