Veteran projectionist Santemore recalls long career and World War II era cinema
Santemore recalls never having a projector break down thanks to careful checks. He notes modern projectors free him to attend to other matters while a film runs, but staying in the room remains important. He remembers Badlands of Dakota and King Kong as parish favorites and estimates 150 films shown yearly totaling 5250. He cites 1943 to 1945 as popular WWII years and enjoys yard work, fishing, and outdoor hobbies in his off time. He says projection rooms feel cozier yet nicer now and takes pride in audience smiles.
