Like tag on the marquee"see a movie Tonight" don’t recall seeing such a thing on a marquee.Over powers “NETWORK"which should never happen on a marquee.
1980 picture.Peter Sellers last movie.That is a keeper. I found out the FLYNN THEATRE was operated by MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE THEATRES Company in 1956.
That is what going to the movies was all about.Great picture Ken Mc.Those were the good old days,but they were numbered.So much so I got out of the theatre business in 1983. I saw all these stinking Huge Multiplexes coming.
Funny how statues get missing. The MILLER theatre in Augusta had a beautiful Statue of a female in the lobby.And is now missing,heck stolen since the theatre was closed in the early 80’s. The Statue was given to the Miller from the World’s Fair and was in the lobby there until someone swiped it.
That is someone’s goof in the booth.I guess it is all automated,so some switch did not kick on.Hopefully, that won’t happen again. It is about $11.00 a seat here in Georgia for first run.Guess that is the average. LOVED your comment on DIET IMAX.Don’t think i had ever heard it called that.
So the term is Diet IMAX.That must be what we have here in Augusta at the REGAL 20,Diet IMAX.That is a good one Justin.Glad to see you are staying on topic.LOL.
Thanks gallion.Jerry Lewis writes about his theatre days in “DEAN and ME” he even writes about his failed twin cinemas.
Don thanks again for your great pictures.What history.
Wouldn’t you love to have those one sheets out front of the Palace.
I sorta like the 1985 marquee better,in fact alot better,the new one is too stuffy looking.But thanks for putting it on Don.
All nice looking pictures.Looks like a nice theatre.Thanks guys.
All the pictures were nice,nice story Steve.I too,worked in an old theatre,always strange sounds,but no ghosts.No such thing.It is all in the mind.
“CASH NIGHT” on the marquee,Giving out money to see a movie.
Very small theatre.
It is a wonder there is even a theatre in that town named after a chapter in the book of mormon.I notice the small things.

Glad to see a triple making it.Brings back the good old days of the theatre business,Don.
This theatre was a McElroy Theatre out of Shreveport,La.In 1956.
The Jim theatre was a McElroy Theatres out of Shreveport,La.

A Dixie Drive-in in yankee land,strange.
I submitted the MAPLE OUTDOOR CINEMA in China. A Drive-in. It should be in newest theatres still if you guys want to read about it.
Nice Twin Theatre,but it should have stayed with one screen.
Also a theatre like this needs a lot more writing done on the history and theatre stories from employees and patrons.

Cadet, Mo had no Drive-ins there in the late 50’s this one must have opened in the 60’s. Motion Picture Almanac 1957.
“Cannonball Run” what amovie to close a grand old theatre on.Did a film like that even do box office over there?
