Hey, my cousin asked if you put FOUR SEASONS CINEMAS on ? I guess since you have been down you have not been able to do it. Also Hendersonville Outdoor Cinemas? I know you are busy with Tampa Theatres,so i will let Ray know.
He even printed out a history on Four Seasons. I guess he is computer dumb like me. Happy New year. Hope you liked the gift.
Albany ,Georgia was the city. While we are talking about banning movies Augusta Police Chief,James Beck, stated he would raid the IMPERIAL THEATRE there if it showed A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. Being an ABC theatre and wanting no bad press it was pulled only to play later when it was released as a R rated movie,
I was never a projectionist,but in management and jgrow i can honestly say having a trained man in the booth during my days made life easier. I got in on the tail end of carbon arcs and the beginning of platters. I don’t know how many unionoperators realized their days were numbered. By the time i quit GCC, they were wanting the operators to start the last feature and leave the booth and a manager would cut everything off.
I am glad i quit when i did. Theatre business is gone down hill since i started as a doorman by in 1974.
Yeah, I could have shot alot of film at the IMPERIAL without sound they would still been great. Our plots were pretty simple and we used the overture from Jesus Christ Superstar for all three movies it seem to work quite well with all the action.
Oh,being a assistant manager one night a few buddies and i went in Columbia Square 2 and i set up our Super 8 projector and played my three movies on the SCREEN and surprizingly it wasn’t too bad of a picture.
I am glad i can honestly say to people i have had my films on the Silver Screen. Oh, I put your pics in the mail monday morning.
Bob, one other place where two Drive-ins were side by side and not a twin was in Augusta,Georgia where the FOREST HILLS and BON-AIR DRIVE INS were side by side.{both on CT]
I made 3 super 8 movies THE FUNKY VAMPIRE, TWO ON THE RUN and TRRROR. I wish like heck i would have taken that camera to work with me at NATIONAL HILLS and shot about 200 feet of now Priceless memories.
THE SUNSET DRIVE IN held 250 cars in 1956 and was owned by The Tullis Brothers. THe other Drive in that town was the STAR LITE DRIVE IN and it was much larger holding 538 cars and was owned by T.M.Morris.
Ray, I hope you will soon post pictures of Southside. Ifound one of you and me in your booth there,don’t know why i didn’t take more. Maybe i did and have not found them.
