Robin,Nick and Tlsloews.I was on a mission to get that picture,the DM for Georgia theatres,Jeff Mobley snapped the picture.I took pieces of the screen.I had to do it.It would have been so easy to say,what the heck,It is an old theatre no one cares.I cared and got down there! I also hauled off a pick-up load of stuff from NATIONAL HILLS that was not going to the city dump.Nick,I don’t even remember sending you that picture.Should have been in my red ABC jacket.
Not that it matters, but Jeff Mobley use to date my ex-wife while they were in high school.Small world.theatre world. Robin, you might even know Jeff,sad picture,It was really sad being there.
My 1956 Motion pictureAlmamac has REVEL Drive-in,could be a misprint. Thanks Nick,It is just when you hit the small towns it is so hard to get the facts.
BOB, that sounds right,It is a major intersection before going out to 1-26. A couple of years ago the screen was still up with a few white panels left.
Nick, this Drive-in the CLOVER-LEAF is right in town,no rural roads.
Bob.I will call the Bethaham Community Center,a black center for history of local African-americans.They would probably be the only source because THE AUGUSTA CHRONCILE has no ads what so ever on the BOOKER or Hi-De-Ho Drive-ins.Thanks for any help.
well, if they booked “GATOR” with “GONE WITH THE WIND” they would have had two Georgia based flicks.What double feature,Wish Burt,A Georgia Boy could see it.
usually a manager would never allow to tell the public how many seats you have,and you got the box office girl to tell you.Times Change I guess. that was always a closely guarded secret at the theatres i worked at.
anyone into “JAWS” needs to go to the IMPERIAL THEATRE site ON CT,in AUGUSTA,Ga. and see an ad that was NOT done anywhere on any newspaper ad.It is May 27,2010 post. I think you shark fans should be impressed.
Yeah, your right,it is just that i love old theatres so much,{big surprize} that I want to read more,and feel others do,that is why i At least try for a paragraph when I introduce a new theatre and I know there is a lot of filler in those stories.
I think you have it.300 cars is alot for a town that size,but i guess there is no set limits on cars.The Wilkes Theatre{on CT} was a Martin Theatre. It is about 40 miles from my home.My 1956 Motion Picture Almanac has a Washington Drive-in listed under the Martin banner. Thanks.
Tlsloews,i have reread what you wrote,are you talking of"JAWS" or what movie.What is the movie?

It was just really strange,Albany,is pretty good size city.
This is really strange.I checked my 1956 Motion picture almanac a not one drive-in is listed in this Capital city.Must have been a misprint.
I have a call out to CT member Ray Hutto,he might be the only one to be able to help us.
I can take the picture and have Nick post it.
Bob,I think it is going be hard to get alot of info on these small towns.

Thanks Bob,Seems like you and Chuck1231 have the best source materials.

Great looking pictures,Chuck 1231.

Nick,I want to thank you for your work.I guess i sent pictures to the wrong person,but Robin is busy with Tlsloews theatre pics.
Love the pictures,Nick. I saw the “JAWS” AD with Bill.Great.
Thanks Nick,wish Bill had a computer to see the great ad you put on.Have you put any more on,i am looking.

I don’t think it was open until 1975.I am pretty sure about that.My 1956 Motion Picture Almanac has it still open as late as 1956.
This one will be a hard one to find info on,but i am looking.
Any more info would be great,but this place is so far away i don’t know if it will get any more info added.
Any more info would be great.
