It wasn’t cool for Norman that night.he was pretty much a kid himself,but could run a booth. My one change over wouldn’t have went over well at the FOX theatre in Atlanta,but for a small mountain town we got no gripes.

Sean has a love of theatres.More so than his brother and two sisters.He worked in the business for awhile running the booth,becoming Assistant Mgr,but found out he made more in the booth hourly than on salary. He later worked as a waiter in Dallas Texas at a cinema that served food, Tony Romo of the Cowboys left him a 50.00 tip for a couple of drinks,and that was after Sean told him he was a big FALCON fan. I told Sean he should have told Tony he was a big COWBOY fan,but he couldn’t.Go Birds.

Well, in 1956 it parked 300 cars so it must have enlarged since above it is listed at 500 cars! It was owned by Phil Isley theatres.

Our Concessionstand girls did it in their heads or on a sheet of paper. We were 80.00 short one night at Regency.Found out a new hire was pocketing some of the cash.
Don’t ask how we made up the shortage,you probably know.

Yes, almost right across the street. They [arts group} are trying to get money from the city for more work on it. At least a new roof was put on several years ago.

Unless YOU were short in BOX OFFICE. and you told me several months ago you’d like to get back in it.

TLSLOEWS.it is Augusta’s largest theatre and pretty much gave us competition during the years i subbed at the Imperial. It stayed open a bit longer,but what they were playing was the worst of Kung-Fu movies.
And sure the little multiplexs in the burbs certainly rushed the closings of both theatres, Today all the little cinemas that opened during the lean years for downtown theatres are all but gone,save one,MASTERS CINEMAS which is our dollar theatre.

Hey, TLSLOEWS,ROBIN managed this classy theatre. I was never there so she is going to have to START WRITING.

that is a set-up I wish we would have had ;nothing would piss me off more than after counting thousands of dollars of box office,than go find why we were short 12.00 in concession. the way you guys had it was another manager worried about that. And usually by 10:00 pm i was not wanting to be worried were 10 drink cups were misplaced.
