The photograph showing the projection staff in the article "Dreams of past glories" (The Argus, April 25) brought back many happy memories.

The man in the white coat is Fred Warner. He was chief projectionist when I joined the Astoria in 1956 as fourth projectionist, having been a rewind boy in Haywards Heath at The Paramount Cinema.

Subsequently, I became third projectionist at The Savoy in Old Steine and ended my career as chief projectionist at Princes News Theatre, North Street, Brighton.
