This ticket probably dates back to the early 1960s!
Later on tickets had to have a serial number when the entertainment tax was introduced. And there was a door keeper's portion on the left that was separated by a perforation. This made it easier for the door keeper to tear when the film patron entered the auditorium!
At the Regal the door keeper would count the number of door-keeper's ticket portion, write the count on the top and drop these at the book-keeper's office. These would just end up in the dustbin. I always thought this was a make work task! That is, until I saw a door keeper's portion being sold as legitimate ticket to an unsuspecting film patron!!
