There was also a Hammond Organ that rose up from the floor where the organist would entertain us while we waited for the movies to start. We were a rude bunch and about half way through the organist’s numbers we began to chant, ‘We want the show! We want the show!’

This is what an unairconditioned bus looked like in those days
