Job descriptions
From a selection of the testimonies, can you write a job description for an usherette or a cinema manager, including list of duties and personal qualities?
"The uniform was a deep mauvey skirt and top and you had to wear a white blouse under that. It was your own blouse but she [the manageress] provided the skirt and waistcoat too. It was normal, calf length skirt. You had to have shoes and stockings to match, you could never wear high heels or anything like that."
"You worked wherever in the cinema you were needed. You didn't stay just in one place. You didn't do the same aisle… you were trained to use the torch. You didn't shine it in people's faces or on the screen."
