I read where the site that the Alamo was shot on is closing up due to lack of business.It was tourist attraction even though it was no where near San Antonio.It was in the August 31 2010 edition of the local paper there.
You are right Giles.But we all love MOVIE THEATRES and i am getting an education on modern theatres from Justin and the Gang,I managed in the 70’s and early 80’s.
Thanks Ken for the pictures and Kevin for the Story.Bet you caught a lot of HAMMER FILMS.Second best film export in England with 007 being first.I sure hope they keep making 007 movies.
yeah,of all the Assistants Mike rogers was one theu could plug in anywhere.Much like Loews all Plitts had the same BORS just diffrent girls in Box.Most of the time they did ALL my Closing paperwork,did I not have it made.
No drive-ins listed at all in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac for Texarkana,which i thought was a nice size town,think it would have had at least one Drive-in,Bob,in the fifties.
I saw a CNN report from Cuba and for maybe 3 or 4 seconds they showed a movie theatre,but it happened so fast i couldn’t recall the Spanish name,but it looked closed.
thanks Guys.
Perry, Fla,also had a Community Outdoor Drive-in and a another called Perry Drive-in Theatre.
I thought your Texas Theatres might be under the INTERSTATE Circuit in Dallas,but none were listed.I will keep looking.
Floyd Theatres HAD the Whole state it seemed to me!Much like MARTIN Theatres in Georgia.
Well, lets just close all the theatres.start with those 20 plus monster screens.Yep,Glad I got out of the Business in 1983.
Thanks Andy.

Could the Drive-in had a name change? I have a Palm Drive-in there in 1956.
Nice WEB SITE. We had Ron White here in Augusta,He had a $400.00 bottle of Scotch on Stage.Of course,he did not share it the Stagehands!
