Usage Examples of "Usherettes"
Slang
The 1920s slang term "querelle" was used to describe an usherette. However, that specifically refers to a theatre advert where an attractive young woman gave away free programmes and attended to the needs of theater-goers. In the UK and Ireland, the practice of giving out programmes for free, carried out by women, had been prevalent in the theatres since the 1870s. From 1910 however, this work became known as an "usherette" largely for the purpose of differentiation from another job role within the theatre.
