It is simply amazing as big as KNOXVILLE is and no one to comment on this twin drive-in. the old DIXIE-LEE gets more comments.

Tlsloews. I was lucky at every theatre i worked there was usually a employee,usually a girl,that was snapping pictures at work. That is how i got 90% of mine. I can see you must not have had such luck. You outta see what Robin has. I bet 50 or 60 snapshots of theatres she worked.WHY DIDN’T WE THINK OF THAT!

Right now my show call is at 2pm so they must have cut the show big time which happens when no tickets are sold. I can’t turn down the call because as Bill knows since he was a stagehand one can make close to two hundred a show.Money i need. But if there is any way i will be there. Couldn’t get ahold of the Tinneys. She is a greeter at Augusta Mall and he works in getting the paper out everyday.
Even if i don’t show up we {the gang from 74-80} plan on meeting back at that Mexican restraunt on Boy Scott Rd. This fall.

I will try and give him a call also the Tinneys,but i just don’t know if they would drive that far even though once you get on BOBBY JONES you can be there pretty quick. It took me more time to drive from Evans to Martinez,Than Martinez to your place.

Robin.I haven’t gotten a show call yet for that concert.It had only sold 600 tickets,so they might cancel.

See TLSLOEWS,our Plitt Theatre people are such nice folks.between you and me: Robin is going to wish i never told about this site,But i figured she would be like the rest of my theatre folks and never get on. I am still surprizes we can have a reunion like last fall at a mexican restrauant and all these guys show up and talk theatre for three hours,but yet NONE of them will get on CT.Personal ? i just don’t know.

Does anyone know if there was a MAJESTIC THEATRE in Kansas City? reason I ask was there was a short lived TV series “THE POPCORN KID” and it took place in the MAJESTIC. I was wondering if like the creators of WKRP had worked it such a theatre because the stories were so close to theatre life. I am glad i was able to tape a few shows before it got the ax in the mid 80’s.

If something went wrong you were suppose to know how to fix it. The trouble was in those days they expected you to be on the floor and booth.Impossible task. I think I am going to call Nick and see if he is okay.

I going to try and get Robin or Nick to print me a copy. I would love to have that framed. I ain’t much of a photo critic,but that shot just does something to me,that all these others[ drive in pics] have not done. Guess it is just me.

I Know “THE RIGHT STUFF” played in 70mm I have some of the film a few clips. YOu have to look hard,but one who knows the theatre location can easily see it. They had a print stolen in COLUMBIA,S.C. on “RETURN” right out of the booth. Never heard the outcome. I had reel 4 or 5 of JAWS 2 that never got shipped and no one questioned,Gave it to Bill. When he left GCC Regency Mall he said the whole movie “CASINO” was left in the booth. Bet it is still there. Hey, you were a step up from TLSLOEWS and Me we weren’t projectionists.We got out at the right time.

I found a half page Grand opening on Columbia 1 and 2 from the Chroncile,but i don’t think it would fit the screen.It had NationalHills and the Imperial on it.

Well, if i can’t discuss theatre with Nick, Robin.or You it ain’t worth getting on.Still don’t know about Nick. I sent him several theatres to put on a month ago. Maybe I scared him off like with Robin.“quit sending us so many items”. I bet they would put a picture of your collection of pictures on CT.
