Chuck 1231,I noticed a lot of Drive-ins in Youngstown.When I went to search them hardly any came on the SEARCH.I was afraid to submit them because i figured like so many locations the names were changed.And I did not want to add screens that were already on CT.
“REEFER MADNESS” plays on a Late Show and management warns in the Newspaper ad"management requests no drugs in the theatre.this protects everyone from the likihood of a drug bust".I have worked Hundreds of Midnight shows back in the real Midnight movie business,no ever thought to place such a warning in the movie ad". this on Dec.6 1972.
Eric,I decided to venture out for “TRUE GRIT” as much as i did not want to see it,I guess I will.Hopefully the snotnosed teenagers and stupid Adults will wonder into another cinema.
USA TODAY,Dec 20 2010 has an article on it Justin [Tron]. I think I have TALKED myself into seeing “TRUE GRIT”.I can only hope it has been deicated to the Duke.
It was owned by Mid State Theatres in the late Fifties.“ANYONE CAN PLAY” and “SKIDOO” are playing on April 1 1970.On Tuesdays Carloads for 1.75. For awhile in the very early seventies it went by the name ELLEN CINEMA.
I like the 1980 picture the best,Really nice shot.April 1 1970 the theatre urged moviegoers to see “BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID” on the weekday nights to avoid the long lines.One showing each night at 7:30 pm.Every hear of ADDING shows!!
There was an ISSAQUAH THEATRE there in the early sevnties a single screen.It always played Double Features like these two “CATLOW” and MURPHY’S WAR" playing Jan 7,8, and 9 1972.
Dec 2 1968 “YELLOW SUBMARINE” is playing.
