And the main one, Chief, I noticed he did nothing. And I thought, that’s worth striving for. He was never there and he never did anything wrong, you did. I thought, oh, thank god one day I’ll be chief. So I stuck it until I was promoted. Oh, because by that time I was chief, but I had to run everything, I had to do everything myself.

A lot of places, I was told, you went into the projection room and you weren’t allowed to touch film, all you did was sweep the floor. But actually what happened with me, I think the chief took me under his wing ‘cause he knew I was so interested and wanted to get to know all the equipment. I think within a week I was lacing up. But, of course, he kept an eye on me like. And he showed me how to rewind films, ‘cause a lot of people just put the film on the rewinder, take it across and just rewinding it and just look elsewhere, you know. But he actually said you need to check it as you rewind it. And you don’t need to go very fast, just check it because you could come across a split perforation or a nick, ‘cause if it went through the machine like that it will probably tear. Because in those days we used triacetate which was easy broken so you had to check the film as you went through.

Some films you put them up fast, other films you put them up slow. You see we also used to rehearse films, they don’t do that anymore. But sometimes we used to have delivery of films on a Thursday, sometime between Thursday and Sunday that film would be played, only the features, second features didn’t really matter, but the main feature film bearing in mind that we were a first run house, we used to run parallel with the West End. So feature films would have to be run through and the chief or the manager or the senior second would sit in the auditorium and cue them so the sound was all right all the way through. And you’d run by that cue sheet then all through the week. Frank used to consider that a necessity and, again, it worked. No need to change it, you know. It was a good system. And it worked.

Not at all. I literally learned lacing up by standing behind projectionists and watching them. And then I was allowed to do it myself. But where we extolled in my opinion was, we were taught showmanship. How to put a film on the screen. One of Frank Saunders’s … one of the things he drummed into me from the very first day I met him, I think maybe the second day, we stood at the back of the auditorium in the morning and the screen was open. The tabs were open, the skirtings were open. And he said, “Mike,” he said, “you see that down there? It’s the screen,” he said, “and I never want to see that again.” And I sort of looked at him, gone off, and I said, “What do you mean?” He said, “That screen there,” he said, “when the tabs open it’s the punters’ window on the world. They don’t want to see a screen, they want to see a picture on the screen and lose themselves in their imagination.” He said, “That's the job that we do. If you show them the screen, they lose the imagination, it becomes a picture on a screen instead of a picture in its own right.” He said, “I never, ever want to see you open those curtains on a blank screen.” And I only ever done it once and he sent me home. Literally, I thought I’d had the sack. Said, “You don’t do that in my theatre, you go home now and think about it”. Remember in those days visiting the cinema was a night out. So if you could extend the night out for the enjoyment of the audience, that's what showmanship is all about. If people can come out and they’ve been to Brazil and they’ve been to London and they’ve been to Rome and they’ve enjoyed the experience you feel good. You really do feel good. It’s a strange thing. When I … for a short time I was trainee manager, assistant manager, and I used to stand at the back of the audience at night when they were coming out, as the cur… the tabs closed, and stand at the back of the audience and it was good to feel how they felt. ‘Cause it would emanate from them. And you could tell that an audience had been entertained, you could feel it. And at that … it made you feel good, that you knew the performance had been a success. It’s a little like … and it comes from the stage days, you know, you’re only happy with a stage production if the whole production has gone right. We used to feel the same about the cinema. It had to run right, it had to give people entertainment. It had to feel as though they moved into a magic kingdom. That’s what cinema was all about. It should still be all about but it’s not unfortunately. But that's the showmanship, you just felt satisfaction with the job. A lot of cinemas didn’t bother, you had no showmanship in a lot of the suburban cinemas, would be lights out, screen open. And that was it. And there was an awful lot of that going on. An awful lot. They used to make us feel a little sick, you know, seeing the way we projected film and seeing the way somebody else, oh, dear me. Really terrible, really terrible and I mean, I, I went not long, not long before I got married, I went as a chief operator to the Capital Cinema in Blackwood. And it was run on a shoestring, literally, absolutely literally. Only two operators there one working, one not working. Simple as that. So you had to do everything including cleaning the toilets, literally. And it was awful, awful. If you film, with the footlights on, the guy that ran the place used to play hell with us. “Do you think I can afford to pay for electricity to have lights on here?” you know, and that's how suburban cinemas were run. It was scandalous really.

Note the gramophone, that’s all we had in those days was the non-sync, you know, and on Sunday afternoon we’d go in and Frank Saunders would run through the records we could use that week. We couldn’t use any records that weren’t sympathetic towards the film we were showing. And I brought in a rock n roll because it was rock n roll records in those days, I brought a rock n roll record in one day because we were showing The Tommy Steel Story and I suggested that we play this record and he went absolutely bananas with me. “We don’t play music like that in cinemas! We don’t play vocals in the intermission. Vocals are not on.” And, of course, I don’t know whether it applied to the rest of the country but we weren’t allowed to play music before 5:30 on a Sunday. We used to open the cinema at five o’clock, and had complete silence until 5:30 and then you could put a record on and play. A legal obligation in those days, yeah. Sunday cinema had only just come in, you know, and they’re very chapel around here, you see. And a lot of the chapels came out at 5:30 so it was all right to play music after 5:30 but not before chapel come out. So Sunday afternoons we used to go in, play the music that Frank Saunders thought was applicable and in all fairness it used to work.

So in those 24 hours you could work evenings at suburban cinemas. And I done quite a bit of that around Cardiff, they’re always looking for operators to fit in ‘cause they never have enough staff. ‘Cause they didn’t pay really good wages. But you do it for a giggle for one night, it doesn’t really matter what you got out of it, you know, it was just you were running the show for everyone, bit different. You have free tea and free coffee and perhaps they send you out a bag of chips and a piece of fish ‘cause that’s standard fair for a projectionist. Actually I got … never ate fish and chips in the Olympia. Never, I can never, ever, do you again … I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, we never had fish and chips in the Olympia because there wasn’t a fish and chip shop in the vicinity. So normally it would be sandwiches done by mum. Or if you had a bit of money you go across to Woolworth’s across the road. You’ll like this, our main treat in the Olympia, Frank Saunders used to call me into the … usually on a, on a Friday when he was making up film, he’d call me in and he’d give me some money and he’d say, “Now go and get our lunch for today, Mike.” And I knew what it was ‘cause he’d trained me well, I used to go across the road, down a lane, and there was a dirty old bake house down there. And I used to buy a loaf of hot bread and I’d walk back through the back end of Woolworth’s, you could walk right through Woolworth’s in those days and I’d buy half a pound of butter and tin of Fussell’s milk. Go back to the cinema, in slices the hot bread, spread it with butter and pour Fussell’s condensed milk on it. And that was, that was Frank Saunders and my treat on a Friday. We used to really love it. But it was very … because the hours were so strange, once we started working, or I started working shift work the hours are so strange. Half past nine to half past three doesn’t give you a mealtime really. You go home and you have your dinner at home. Half past three to half past ten, you have breakfast before you leave home, you’re leaving the house by lunchtime so you don’t bother with it, you just go into work and do your shift and come home and have supper when you get home. It’s a very laid back life in actual fact.

They could arrive, if you had a Monday start, they could arrive on a Monday morning, if they were crossed over from another cinema. They could arrive on a Sunday or a Saturday depending how FTS, Film Transport Services, delivered them. But mainly they came up on a Thursday. So Friday morning they would then be carried upstairs. Now, we were lucky, we only had a projection suite on the first floor. Some cinemas had to carry these damned heavy boxes right up to god. We were lucky, unless we were showing Todd-AO because they were very heavy, and a lot of them. But then you feel sorry for the guys that had Cinerama, who had three times as many. But anyway, that was Thursday morning they’d arrive. Friday morning would be make up day. Chief would come in and out to the rewind room and he would make up the programme for the following week. Now, in those days every join in the film had to be checked and because Frank was a bit meticulous most joins would be remade. In those days you had to scrape off the emulsion, scrape off the base and join the film together with film cement. Nowadays they use a form of Sellotape which is very easy and very quick. It wasn’t in our day. You physically had to check that every … that was a long arduous job and he would be doing that probably up until about four o’clock in the afternoon on a Friday. Then they’d be put away in the lower spool racks until Sunday when the feature would be taken out and played through for chief to edit the sound, edit the way it was played and it would be shown on the Sunday usually lunchtime-ish. Then it would come out again and it would be shown through the week as per normal. Then on Saturday the process would be to break it down again. Now what we used to do in those, in our cinemas, on a Saturday night we used to use what they called blind spools, a spool with only one side on it. So you put your film on the top of the projector, put the blind spool on the bottom with a film block in the middle, lace your film on that and when you come to the end of the reel you take your reel of film off and it would be ready to put in the box, in a can and sent away again. That was basically it. The only thing you would have to break down physically is the adverts, the news and the trailers.

He was the chief and I was a lowly rewind boy, and he used to tell me about the days he projected silent films with a pianist. Now I feel now, it’s silly really, but I feel I've touched the silent days because I talked to that man ‘cause he talked to me and you knew what he was telling you was the truth. He took me through silent films, he took me through sound on disc on films, he took … He had what he called his treasure chest which was a wooden chest which he used to keep all his mementoes in. And he had so many mementoes of different cinemas that he’d worked in. He knew so much about the cinemas. He was just such an iconic guy, he knew everything about cinema, brilliant man.
