Maybe,they can take what i wrote and combine them since theyare the same theatre to help folks searching for the theatre.DAVIS THEATRE/OVERTON THEATRE. I guess that does happen often with theatres.
Good Golly,Robin you worked in a DRIVE-In. You must have worked for several chains.You are more of a old theatre dawg than me. I figured you worked at NATIONAL HILLS and got pluggedin everywhere else for Plitt theatres like I did.I never even realized you guys went to ATL with MR.Anderson.Maybe BIll Told me. You can blame him for not inviting you all to our big 1985 1986 reunions. I know his daughter should have been able to find someone becuse she knew you all.
I have collected stuff from ticket stubs found in closed theatres to Drive -in speakers from here to East Tenn. But,like so many theatre collectors it would hard to part with it.
I remember my folks coming back from your beautiful state and i told them all i wanted was the Honolulu friday paper to see the movie ads and when i saw that a Drive-in was in that state it sorta threw me because of space and real estate. for years i kept that paper and it still might be here and the first “INDIANA JONES” movie was playing at that Drive-in.I remember that like it was yesterday. I’ll get my DVD’s out and look closly at the end credits.I like to say it was HAWAII theatre.Thanks vito.
I did TAKE pictures of the PASTIME theatre there,But Heck, I ain’t got no way to put them on here.I wish i could mail them to CT and let those computers brains put them on.
Robin, I don’t have the equipment or smarts to put pictures on here,but if you can I can bring pictures of most if not the Theatres you have listed on you page. Just let me know.I would be so proud to AUGUSTA’S finest screens on here.
I see the Overton Theatre.Thanks. Did i tell you a NATIONAL HILLS employee is having a reunion FEB 20.She was assistant Mgr.I had already been canned at COLUMBIA SQ. But I did know her. She hopes to have a few old employees.Barkley WILL be there. She’s really into CT,so maybe someone here can keep our past alive.
Yeah,I mailed the Dreamland and Overton{Texas} several weeks ago. If you lost them i can do another.My friend Tim at the Imperial was working on thr DREAMLAND,but like said he works when the mood hits.
Which i understand beacuse he is doing research and mine mostly comes me remembering.
The projectionist yelled something like"get the BLEEP out of here"
I guess “FANNY HILL” sounded inviting. I ran back p the hill to the shopping center my mom was buying food at.You just wonder if one or both of those “boys” are on CT today.both like theatres.
I have a son SEAN, who did follow dad’s footsteps and did work a few years in the business,I guess he will take care of that even though i wasn’t happy the day i saw my"CLOCKWORK ORANGE" one sheet pinned up in his room.
Vito, Do you remember the theatre shown on the end credits on one of my favorite TV shows HAWAII5-0. I think the first three seasons it showed a downtown theatre,
Also,i swear I saw aDRIVE-In in one episode of 5-0. Could have been the KAM DRIVE-In.I mean,I understand you might not know this.
I know most of the UA product played there.I don’t think it was open when Connery played Bond under the UA banner. I know in fact “A SPY WHO LOVED ME” played there cause John Mackey,Mgr,let me do a newspaper ad on that movie that i have even today.
Thanks so much. Here is a harder one and I am not running a test,but do you know the name of the Drive in in the movie “TELEFON” with Charles Bronson. I remember because while filming in the lot they ran the same loop through the projector during the action.I figured it was Southern California. Is FORT BENTON DRIVE IN still open.
IN 1956 it parked 165 cars and was owned by Kooper and Mygren. According to Motion Picture Almanac.Have no address.
When i submit a theatre I always try and do a liitle research.sometimes it’s wrong and you guys catch it. But,I just like to add more when i contribute a new Theatre.But that is just me.
In the movie"THUNDERBOLT andLIGHTFOOT" there is a Drive-in that is in a good part of the film.And i think the movie was shot in Montana and i wonder if anyone up that way knows the Drive-in.I think it was filmed somewhere around those Northwest states.
I have often wondered what to do with all my one sheets and 8 by10 stills,pressbooks and such when i pass on.I know i could sell them to collectors,but i thought it would nice if there was a place one could send all of ones collection to be taken care of and shown to the public. Most of my stuff would have ended up in the landfill had i not save it while working at various theatres.
Wish there was more of a story.
Yeah, do what Chuck 1231 said. I am so glad someone in Augusta besides Ray Hutto and myself is getting on CT with REAL theatre stories. MALL CORNERS might be on CT,If not I can’t wait to read what you write as others will enjoy too.

Played it first run at REGENCY 1.2.3. Cinemas.Augusta. I never could see what the big deal was with kids wanting to cross over all day.
Tislowes,I thought you were saving those one sheets for your daughter?

Robin, you never said,but i guess we need to bring something for the reunion.I can bring some chips and cokes.I ain’t much of a cook.
Yeah, wouldn’t be nice if your group wrote about your theatres.Well,it’s like pulling teeth.
I have a son SEAN, who did follow dad’s footsteps and did work a few years in the business,I guess he will take care of that even though i wasn’t happy the day i saw my"CLOCKWORK ORANGE" one sheet pinned up in his room.

I noticed TWIN-CITY DRIVE-IN in Sandersville is not on CT. Does anyone down that way have anything on that Drive-in.
I know most of the UA product played there.I don’t think it was open when Connery played Bond under the UA banner. I know in fact “A SPY WHO LOVED ME” played there cause John Mackey,Mgr,let me do a newspaper ad on that movie that i have even today.
Thanks I will because there are quite a few Drive-ins in Movies I like.
