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.
I also worked a few months at GCC GEORGIA SQUARE CINEMAS 1.2.3.4. in Athens.Quitting the business for in the middle 80’s. the year “THE BIG CHILL” came out.I went out with that flick.
Hey, I hate too be mean,BUT didn’t he have the uglyest kids you ever saw? You might contact Mr.Tinney he’s in the phone book.He came to all our get togethers in the 80’s and i swear had i had your address we would have invited you,Cathy and anyone else. Blame Bill Barkley he could have tracked you all down!
I snuck on the lot one night only to get chased off by the PROJECTIONIST. I just remembered this while reading 20th CENTURY FOX DRIVE IN story on CT.
The Very adult movie was"FANNY HILL" i never did see any thing at the age of 12 or 13. Didn’t have time.
Oh, I have added some history on the MODJESKA if you get a chance. Maybe you have stories your parents told about the Modjeska. It always gave me the creeps even grown up walking over to borrow ice from them when i was pulling extra duty at the IMPERIAL. “Mike Rogers is good we can plug him inanywhere” a Mr,Tinney quote.
Hate to hear that.I forgot the ART theatre.I think it might have been called CINEMA 1 when you were at the IMPERIAL. Bill, gave me a copy of the marquee on closing night; I have it framed. He said you took the picture. Thanks for doing that.
Golly, Robin I didn’t know you married a theatre guy. I hope you had better luck than me i married my Box office girl at GCC.had four beautiful kids all by-products of GENERAL CINEMA.She’s gone. I got the KIDS which are about all grown.
I had no idea you guys followed him to Atlanta. I met him a few times and just never connected.Not like Mr.Tinney whom might have been too easy on us. When I moved over to GCC at the mall i met my wife there,she was my box office girl .We stayed married for 15 or 16 years until she went through some change of life or something.
I could always get the concessionstand girls to do the inventory at night and our course a good box office girl can do all at closing,so i had an easy go of it and you were an Assistant it should have been easy for you with a good crew,I put alot more onREGENCY MALL CINEMAS 1.2.3. on CT, plus MASTERS,SOUTHGATE,DANIEL VILLAGE and the MILLER and MODJESKA even though they were GEORGIA THEATRES and we always looked down on them!
I have a bunch of info. My friend Nick in Tampa puts it all together for me and puts on CT. Plus another friend Tim,stage mgr. at the IMPERIAL here is also working three other downtown theatres from the silent era. He has the time for research. I always like to add more when i present a theatre for CT,
So many folks just do like the guy did for the one in Columbus Ga. I feel I should give more of a story.I could through my 1956 motion picture almanac and set a record of somekind with posts onDrive-ins but will not do it. My stories on FOUR SEASONS include an interview and a detailed opening on the HENDERSONVILLE OUTDOOR CINEMA.
Cliff, I don’t have the equipment to do it,but if you pass my address on to him I will be glad to mail him pictures like I did for you. I wish CT could do it because i have so many pictures from my theatres here. I could get them to CT and they could do it. I saw your pictures.
YEAH, I wasn’t sure on how to spell it and even tried to look it up.
wonder what happened to that old RETURN OF A MAN CALLED HORSE trailer? Thing we did we did in the BUSINESS.
WHERE DID YOU STORE THE ONE SHEETS! Hey, if you get a chance go to GASTON MALL THEATRE i have story there about something we talked the projectionist into doing. also my friend Nick, has put together a great story on the 20th Century Drive-in in Tampa.
Robin, When we have our get together I want everyone to list their Favorite Movies so i can put them on like i did with the old crew 1974 to 1979. Tisloews,it might be harder in a large city like Nashville to have a reunion of LOEWS employees. Augusta ia almost too big! I have a feeling you guys would a great time especially if you kept a core group like we did.
Thanks I will because there are quite a few Drive-ins in Movies I like.

Robin.why won’t mister Projector reveal his name? He must have stayed too long in the booth.
I also worked a few months at GCC GEORGIA SQUARE CINEMAS 1.2.3.4. in Athens.Quitting the business for in the middle 80’s. the year “THE BIG CHILL” came out.I went out with that flick.

Robin, you should not have forgotten Columbia 1and 2,but I forgive you.
I have your buddy Richard Anderson mention on COLUMBIA SQUARE CINEMAS. EVen though it will always be COLUMBIA ONE AND TWO for me.
