How many folk remember being shown to their seat in the cinema by a lady with a !
Question: Yes, and one time I went too far, my wife was sat high up, I thought she had not pulled the seat down, I hissed at her to put her seat down, then as I adapted to the dark, I found myself sitting on the step in the aisle looking up to my wife sitting properly in her seat, lots of tittering going on much to my cringing embarrassment.

Yep! And there was ice cream during the 'intermission'!
I do back in the 60s when I last went
bit too young, sorry
I don't remember that-probably wasn't born then- but I've heard peopel mention it, and it does get shown on TV sometimes about the old days.
Mano!
I do and that was class!
We even had seat numbers or asked where do we want to sit ie front middle or back.
Not these days though! - They just want our pennies!!
I don't know how many people remember that, but I certainly do.
I remember that once happening when the theater room was crowded. But the person was helping me find a seat, not deciding where I was gonna sit. I doubt they do that to just decide where people will sit anyways. There's been too many cases of implicit racial segregation and people got in trouble.
are you sure you aren't making this up? i can't imagine a theater since film ever allowing fire indoors. i do however remember ushers with flashlights.
i do.
It was finally time to usher in a new era
And it was a shilling to sit in the front rows!
And you queued for "miles" waiting till the Commissionaire called out something like "2 seats at 3 shillings and sixpence", and there were buskers performing for the queueing hopefuls.
And when the air-raid sirens went off during a film, everyone had to file out.
I was in a cincema - Old Market Street in Bristol, when the film stopped, everyone started booing, and the lights went on. The Manager walked on the stage to announce the end of hostilities in Japan. Great cheers everywhere.
oh yes and there used to be cartoons on before the film and as sophia mentioned ice-cream at intermission,oh I miss the good old days lol
The few of us that are left
Yep, and they used to show a second film, sell ice cream in the intermission.........now half of them don't even look at you when they take your ticket. Bah Humbug lol
Not me, most likely she's there to prevent any hanky panky in the back seats.
Yeah and Keora orange juice and the ice creams....it remember it stopping in the early 80's though...
Still do where I go - but maybe that's cos I arrived late
Ushers-yes i remember! stil did it in the 80's here :)
