Tlsloews.I GOT THEM.Don’t tell Robin I am learning about emails.LOL.
Belle Meade Theatre Looked like the Pepsi-Kelly Buddy Club for all the kids in Augusta. I guess most every town had something like this. Glad you saved some pictures. I bet you wished you saved a few movie ads from your theatres you worked and managed,Or did you and you plan on putting them on,I sent some to Robin and Nick,but so far NOT A THING.
Good for you. You are okay in my book. I know its trespassing,and i would never do it to closed up Circuit City, But movie theatres,I have been real lucky to find an exit door open.
Patsy, there is a theatre in EDGEFIELD,S.C. where i was told by another old theatre dawg that the booth, equipment and everything is still in place. I think a dress shop of all things occupies the main theatre. So I bet a lot of old theatres still have the Booth intact.
Wait just a minute, people stood in lines to see “THE GREAT GATSBY” Heck, we couldn’t give tickets way. Bruce Dern and Robert Redford should have found a western to do. oh, it was NYC.
I had a friend whose car broke down in a small Colorado town and while waiting for the repairs he finds out who in town owns the old movie house and he Finds guy that owned the old theatre, gave Charles a tour inside. I can’t believe he did not take his camera.Wonder where that old Colorado Movie house was at?
I left Columbia 1 and 2 in NOV.1980.I left Georgia Square Cinemas I II III &IV on DEC 1983,dowdeyla, most theatre folks remember stuff like that.OF course you wrote this 2005,so i am probably writing to myself.
they love tearing down theatres for parking lots.
LOEWS should have had their name taken off that marquee no matter the cost if X-rated films were going in.
“GANDHI” and"LONE WOLF MCQUADE" can only hope the theatres were separted,but you wouldn’t have any cross over with those two films 100% you wouldn’t.
I got your EMAIL.TLSloews.

I see you have"PORKY’S" playing March 82.I could have sworn it was a summer movie,but i guess you are right with the bookings.
Thanks Joe.
This Drive-in parked 650 cars and was owned in 1956 by Sero Enterprises.

tILSLOEWS see comment i made on screen partners.I know you will like it. This Drive-in is very very large.And it ain’t in Texas.
You guys had a great Theatre.I am glad to see it remembered so fondly.Great stories.
Once that X rated movie played there i am sure locals had no reason to support it.

S.Porridge,It does look like GCC took over looking at that Road marquee.
Grand opening with “THUNDERBALL” Great opening Flick. Much better than when Loew’s in Tampa opening a major theatre with the soft-core"CANDY".
TLSLOEWS, do you have any photos or ads from the paper.Another Martin Theatre?
Sometimes you don’t have to sneak in exit doors. Charles is a cop, but was a theatre manager at National Hills along with the rest of the assistants.

Both 1982 pictures are from the same day different position on the street.
I see Clint Eastwood is playing there in “FIREFOX”
Is that a “JABBERWOCKY” one sheet in front? Sure looks like it.
Was that"BUCK ROGERS" the re-cut TV show for the big screen.Just wondering.
Wrong rating on DAISY MILLER it was rated PG.Why do i catch all these mistakes.Ever look at a one sheet guys.
