I hate i got on CT too late to be able to write to Mr. Rankin.A CT member told me to check out this site and he seemed liked a very informed theatre person.
I have said it before,there outta be law to keep theatre owners from changing names,call it WEIS/US 25 on the header. that is fine with me and do the same thing for Columbia 1 and 2.
iam not a musical guy.I did like “OLIVER”,but other than that they just drive me crazy. We played “MAME” for one week at NATIONAL HILLS. Lucille Ball and it played one week.Where were old Ladies?
The picture was shot for a newspaper column i wrote above on this site, I guess i could have the whole story with picture on if i can get Nick or Robin to do it. I do have a shot of the screen long after it closed.{color}
Dear Michael, I am from AUGUSTA and managed the only theatre in AUGUSTA that had 70mm and that was NATIONAL HILLS a heck of a better theatre than DANIEL VILLAGE.
Nick, read what wrote on COMMERCE DRIVE-in. I was just looking for pictures of it,saw a bunch of you and CHarlie at that big Autograph show inL.A.. I sent you some i know.years ago. It was screwed up like The Fun-Lan Drive in in Tampa.
TLSLOEWS drives me crazy with those questions. He asked about how many motorcyles would fit in a DRive-in. I guess one could figure It out,But WHO CARES!
Nick, now that i know YOU can do this maybe i will send some pictures for you to put on CT for me. Give Robin a break. You have some of BELMONT DRIVE IN, KINGS MTN DRIVE IN, and DIANE 29 DRIVE IN{ you and me snooping in the old booth and concession stand.}
Golly,Nick these are great shots!
Great pictures Nick. THey should have never tripled it.Understand why Charlie can’t go back.{Charlie was a projectionist in the old days}
Okay,Nick,I will check them out.Glad you can do this.

Robin, I am waiting on those NATIONAL HILLS stories from Cathy,I can believe she is SILENT.
Finally got to the end.almost forgot what I was going to write. LOVE that marquee 2001. i bet it looked great on that i assume big Screen.

Yeah, are there any screens left in that South Georgia town?
This Drive-in parked 6oo CARS and was owned by R.Corporation in 1956.
Well,Chuck 1231,you call it “CLOSING” a fire wiped it out.
iam not a musical guy.I did like “OLIVER”,but other than that they just drive me crazy. We played “MAME” for one week at NATIONAL HILLS. Lucille Ball and it played one week.Where were old Ladies?
Nick, we didn’t even mention how people parked.
Yeah you got all the BONDS. We did get BRIDGE TOO FAR which was a UA product.It was long ,but i enjoyed it.
you outta a least get to east TENN. Quite a few old Drive ins in that area. I think one outside Knoxville is still showing movies.

It had to be in Pennsylvania or Ohio,but i didn’t think the Amish watched movies. Are either you are kidding again.
And its still a pain the butt to work for ushers and doormen. You ever deal with old ladies that like musicals.
