I will let Ray know. Sounds like someone could make a go it if it hasn’t been stipped in the booth. The old booth i wrote about use to be almost on the middle section real close to the screen.

Micah, I have an old PLITT THEATRE office Memo with his name on it and how he was doing selling Reduced admission tickets,RATS as we called them in the business.

Mike Rogers commented about Camelot Cinemas on Feb 22, 2010 at 6:48 pm

I don’t know,hopefully he was a real theatre dawg and is on CT smiling that someone found his name. Really,Robin gave me a stack of old PLITT memos and wow,all the theatres had the managers names on them. A few theatres aren’t on CT. like the Westgate in Spartanburg,S.C., SPRINGS THEATRE in Ocala, MALL theatres,Johnson City,TENN. Camelot Theatre in Myrtle Beach,and SUNILAND in N. Miami. Maybe they have new names,i don’t know and can’t know all about theatres.

I am looking at my marquee AGAIN. I got some to send pictures from All our theatres. Do you think Black and white would look okay,because it would be cheaper to copy. Like us dressing up playing the MARX BROTHERS on a double feature of the MARX Brothers.
