Reading the April magazine article Then & Now really took me back to my
time as an usherette in the State Picture House.
I worked each night of the week from the early 1960’s into the 1970’s, selling
tickets before the film and confectionary during the intervals.
The State had two kiosks, one downstairs, one upstairs, and only one
screen – tiny in comparison to the cinemas of today, but just as much fun.
The highlight of the week for my children was the Saturday Matinee, usually
showing at 10am until midday.
They would save their pocket money for it and buy their bag of penny
dainties to happily chew on during the film. My opportunity to see a film
would come when the projectionist brought in the new reel and would run it
to make sure it was in full working order. Quite often I would only see half of
the movie before duty called. The next day I could catch up with the second
half!
Thank you for printing the article and photo. It really was a nostalgic look
back into the past.
