i grew up in lancaster area and was always was a cinema buff.in january of 1974 i took a part-time job at the wonerland BUDCO cinema,and worked there on and off until sept. of 1980!!the staff were theater veterns who came from the older venues in the area,some going back to the 1930s...note worthy titles during my tenure: pappillion(steve Mcqueen),the sting(which ran for 6 months straight in 1974)the orig. JAWS(june 1975,and sold out three shows nightly for a month)....i want back to see a movie fall of 1992,everything still looked much the same....the main lobby housed a very large,modernistic styled chandelier....im in search of photos(new & old)of any lancaster area theaters,pre 1980.
