THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF NORMAN ? (DOES ANYONE KNOW HIS SURNAME?) WHO WAS THE CHIEF PROJECTIONIST AT THE GIDLOW CINEMA.

Ron,my Dad was the projectionist at Wigan Little Theatre many moons ago in the 1930's,I wonder if anyone has a photo of him then...I doubt it really,but it would be lovely if they had.

My Mother was the last cashier at Gidlow cinema,she knew Norman but never knew his surname,the last picture shown was "Bridge on the River Kwai",Cant remember when it closed but it was in the later half of the sixties.
