 Tickets were sold for 50 cents apiece for adults and 25 cents for children, and the first film shown on opening night was a western, Blood on the Moon. Cacchio's sons, Anthony "Uncle Tony" Cacchio Jr. and Rocco "Rocky" Cacchio, worked with him at the Theatre, serving as ushers on opening night, and eventually running the Theatre. Cacchio's wife, Fannie, sold tickets to moviegoers. She had never held such a job before the Theatre's opening, but continued to sell tickets and work at the Theatre for over five decades without requesting a single paycheck. The Theatre continued to house the town's fire department for some time; one Rosendale resident, Bill Brooks, later recalled walking around a fire truck to reach the bathroom.
