Jan 7 1982,i have been gone for two years and movies are still playing at COLUMBIA 1 and 2 Theatres. Columbia 1 has the Jane Fonda movie “ROLLOVER” rated R Ms.Fonda only had a few movies to play there. second run on “COMING HOME” second run on “THE CHINA SYNDOME” and first run on “NINE TO FIVE”.For the record I was there for the first three. Story somewhere above on Dog in booth barking during “COMING HOME” Can’t make it up. Columbia 2 is playing a very good “ABSENCE OF MALICE”. i want to say this movie opened at NationalHills.
Okay Robin.The pressure is on you! I am sending you a picture of the HILLTOP DRIVE-in[one of your favorites] WEIS drive-in.Skyview DRIVE in and the DANIEL VILLAGE. And Southgate Cinema if i can find it.
You are doing a great service to these lost and often forgotten pieces of Augusta History.
The picture of the Box Office at the IMPERIAL I am making two copies one for me,and the IMPERIAL THEATRE said they would love a copy. I will have them in the mail.
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.
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.

Thanks for fixing my goof.
You guys in K-town need to work up a history on the Plitt WESTOWN Ultra – Vision theatre in your mountain city. It deserves to be on CT.
Of course another grand old Knoxville theatre gone in its place something called the WESTOWN Nine. Well, THE WESTOWN ULRA VISION theatre was a Plitt Theatre and in December of 1983 it was managed by Bruce Torbett.
Your theatre manager at Cedar Bluff 1 and 2 was Ronnie McHone.It was a PLITT THEATRE. December 1983.
