Do you remember  -----? 

I use to sell popcorn out front, when it was 10¢ a bag, I made 10% of what I sold.  Before the show started, I had to drag the machine out front and make level.  I made very tasty popcorn. It was really cold in winter and I would stick my hands inside the machine to keep them warm, and hot during the summer.  After the show was over had to clean the machine, clean restrooms and sweep the theater and then replace the marquee and posters out front.  (In this photo the marquee is "CALAMITY JANE AND SAM BASS IN "YVONNE DECARLO." )     Don't think that is correct, it should be the other way around.... I didn't put this one up---or did I?
