I was bored I guess the other night and left messages on ALL YOUR THEATRES. I do it to TLSLOEWS often too.Well, not all of his he has about 500 theatres on his page.
Robin, I am sure you girls could handle it.I was surprized how little cussin' was in it.The only thing that gets on your nreves is charles being drunk and talking homosexual acts with all the guys.I think for 95 minutes you would like it.Tom W. is in it along with the Tinneys.Outside of that i don’t think you would the rest.I think the film he wants to show is a 16mm selection of TV trailers we use to get for the local TV stations.No videotape. Heck, call him and he can dupe you a copy and mail it to you.He has my DVD disc now.
Wow, It is a small world.I worked at GCC in Augusta and Athens as an Assistant and enjoyed my times with the late Craig Zacker as my manager. I had been in the business probably longer than Zacker having worked at ABC and Plitt theatres.They wanted me to go to Columbia to help out there at the Mall theatre,but didn’t care about it and stayed in Augusta. Of all my Disrict Managers David and Mr.Biggs with ABC/PLitt were the nicest men to serve under,even as an assistant I felt welcomed when he came to town.Hope Mr.Poland is doing okay.
July 13 2008 an article in the paper said how Thomasville was struggling to make it,but when Gas prices were four dollars gallon that year people were shopping and going to MOVIES closer to Home and not spend up to fifty dollars in gas going to Mobile. In fact a picture of the White painted THOMASVILLE Theatre was used in a color picture. The marquee had Friday,Saturday at 7pm “KUNG-FU PANDA” and TONIGHT “GET SMART”. So it was still open while the city of 5,000 folks was bleeding business to Mobile.It took $4.00 gallon of gas to keep the locals at home,wonder how the THOMASVILLE THEATRE is doing now with Gas well under $3.00 a gallon.
We have a Regal 20 plex here in AUgusta that advertises itself as an IMAX theatre,but locals that have seen films there say iT IS NOT IMAX.Why do they let themselves sell IMAX when some of the moviegoers that see films there say it is not IMAX ?
Yeah,I was in management with ABC,PLitt and GCC.My last year with GCC they were making hints that they wanted the Union guys to start the last show of the night and then have the managers secure the booth. Glad I got out in 1983.I could see what was coming,and i wanted no part of running a booth and a theatre too, I was always lucky to have a “LYNN” in all my booths.Really can’t recall any problems with the Union guys in Augusta or Athens Georgia.
Sent Bill a copy of the NATIONAL HILLS theatre reunion,Robin. and made some Theatre copies from old pictures I had.Bill said he would copy the DVD and send it back.
Regal should have kept the Union in the booth.But I heard the background checks they do on employees is almost as if you worked for the C.I.A. |this comes from a ex-manager who saw Regal sell out his theatre to something called EPIC CINEMAS}.
Chuck, in 1956 it parked 299 cars and was owned by Video Ind,which owned quite a few screens in that state.

Robin,we missed another FRIENDS OF THE MILLER event.We need to try and get up what gang we can and go to the next one.
More movies,but I think Robin was no longer managing these screens.
Robin,Bugs come with Drive-ins.LOL!
Robin, You never worked at COLUMBIA 1 and 2 Did you.Probably didn’t want to see Mr.Anderson
You must have worked for several theatre chains ROBIN!
Robin, were you still in ATlanta when these movies played?
Saw the Office building there the other day and the Old Hilltop looked a lot prettier.
It looks from what i can read on CT WEIS had “sister” DRive-in like this one here in Augusta in MACON and Savannah.
Robin, didn’t you have family work here too or was that the downtown theatres.
Robin,the place is going downhill fast.Don’t know what the Board of Education is going to do with it,

Nick,did you get the ad i sent down.
Augusta lost four theatres to fire.The last being the DREAMLAND in late 40’s.
Robin, I have added these movies that played here.
