Entertainment - Calumet Theater |
Buildings, Civic Centers, Arts Facilities, Theaters, Persons, |
This display was extremely popular with patrons of the Calumet Theater, according to Manager Bernard St. Germain. Set up during the recent showing of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", the display included diving equipment loaned by the Calumet Division, Calumet and Hecla, Inc. "Most people have never seen diving equipment," St. Germain said. "Of course, the display made a big hit with the youngsters." The theater employee in the picture is usher Bob Troher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Troher of Ahmeek.
