You wonder if there were any one sheets in that theatre.I am afraid i would have got a flashlight and found an old rotten exit door and explore.I couldn’t just snap a picture.
NOW Showing at the Ewing theatre is “PATSY” nothing else but “PATSY” in the old newspaper ad and a picture of a dark headed lady,Don’t have a clue about the movie"PATSY" but it played Fri,Sat, and Sunday, Oct 23,24,25, 1964. ELVIS WAS NEXT,I think we all know him, in “G.I.BLUES”
Movies that played the MANRING.

"ZULU"
"WOMAN OF STRAW” color cartoon “NUTS and BOLTS” Sean Connery was in this movie with Gina Lollobrigida. OCTOBER 1964
Not a lot of Knoxville folks on CT i see,anyways this from Georgia, Now Showing at the RIVER BREEZE on Oct.24 1964 is THE BEATLES In “A HARD DAYS NIGHT” with a rather strange double feature we see at Drive-ins,“THE SON OF CAPTAIN BLOOD” with Sean Flynn.Like father like son? Beatles movie played twice that night.
Here are some movies that played on the big screen at the MANRING.
June 3 1963 sees ELVIS in “IT HAPPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR"
Oct 10 1964 and "MCHALE’S NAVY "is playing and a double feature of Tony Curtis in "WILD AND WONDERFUL” coming the next day was “THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA”
Now Showing at the ROSA DRIVE-in,Oct,23.1964 “LOSS OF INNOCENCE” and “STOP ME BEFORE I KILL” other movies to follow were in this order; “SHOCK CORRIDOR” “THE GUN HAWK” “LASSIE’S GREAT ADVENTURE” and “STRAIT-JACKET”, Oct 10 1964 “TO HELL AND BACK” “THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS” “FEUDIN'FUSSIN' and FIGHTIN'” and “CAPTAIN NEWMAN, M.D.” and June 3 1963 sees “SPARTACUS”. Be nice if some folks from Middlesboro cared about their old Drive-in.
I.A.T.S.E was a dang good projectionist Union and it was one less headache to have to worry about the booth,in all my theatres ;i was lucky to have highly trained men,not only in putting a good picture on,but most all of them could fix a busted popcorn popper.LOL.
I guess you can’t fight Wall Street,but I would like to think had i been a director such as a Kubrick,no 17 year would run my movie.It never has made sense to me.I saw this non-union crap coming my last year at GCC i was a pro-union manager because the guys in booth put on a good show,never had to give advice,maybe on a trailer,but other than that took their hours down for the payroll.I guess i was just too dang smart to manage a theatre when i saw they had plans for Managers in the booth and on the floor.Glad I got out in 1983.
Thanks movie 534 for a good story,but i bet you could add a lot more.in other words, write.I enjoy the stories written by theatre people that worked a movie theatre not some blasted 20 plex.
1977 was the first real year of Columbia 1 and 2,having opened Christmas 1976.The biggest film ever to play there was “A STAR IS BORN” hands down.Stupid me I made a bet with my box office girl Susan ,that Clint Eastwood’s “THE ENFORCER” would be in town longer than that stupid musical.I was off about four months and see got the one-sheet to “A STAR IS BORN”.

It must have been a mom & pop operation.I couldn’t find it in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac under theatre circuits.I could have missed it.
Thanks Patsy.
Thanks for listing all those movies.

Not that really matters…“see” was “she” She was Susan on above post and i even read it before i submitted it.
Don’t remember “PATTON” and “MASH” being on a double feature,guess you had to run the kids out when “MASH” started? Great pictures.
Thanks KenRoe.
