Yes, I have such fond memories of the Paris, with a complimentary cup of coffee with large crystals of demerara sugar in the interval. The manager used to come and ask us how we were enjoying the show. He was a nice man. I wonder whatever happened to him.

Ha Ha, I also was a projectionist at the Paris, mid 70’s. I also went into TV. I was a sound recordist then cameraman the editor for ABC Australia before redundancy/retirement in 2011 here in Western Australia. Loved the cinema job, not only the operations but we were ushers and had to repair loose seat arms/downlights and we got to bring our own music to play at intermissions etc!

I worked at the Crown and then for a short time at the Paris…as a part time projectionist while still a teenager. Now I own my own cinema in Thomaston GA USA. Between then and now I was mostly in TV production, first for ATV in England and then in Canada and the USA before ‘returning’ to the cinema life.
Remember the Crown well. Also the Prince of Wales which for a time was owned by the same people.
Cheers,
