Can you believe it withall the good CHRISTMAS movies out we are stuck with MOMENT BY MOMENT with JOHN TRAVOLTA and LILY TOMLIN. They said she had first billing, but TRAVOLTA is the only way to sell this flick. COLUMBIA ONE 1978.
THE COLUMBIA THEATRE in Harlem will turn the lights on the rebuilt marquee. They hope the town shows up and shows support.The Mayor quoted in the COLUMBIA TIMES-NEWS said “ IN our little town it will add alot of neat color"
The $69.000 project was partially funded by a $40,000 state grant.The story goes to state The project architect recommended a larger stage capable of holding two simultaneous productions,and reducing the flooring and theatre seating.
The marquee will set witha timer to come on everynight.
Charles called he is upset again at Jordan.Seems like Charles put up a Marquee and Mr.Jordan ripped him a good one. I never had anyone critize a marquee i did. Charles said “ He does even care about the stuff. He said Jordan lacks creativity .” .Will National Hills theatre ever become a peaceful place.

YES, There was a FAIR OAKS DRIVE IN in Marietta it parked 300 cars not making it real big BANKHEAD DRIVE IN in Atlanta still a nice drive in. The FAIR OAKS was operated by Martin theatres . Marietta also had the MARIETTA DRIVE IN which was larger with room for 425 cars. It was owned by R.E. MARTIN CIR. no info on a Smyrna Drive in. Maybe someone might know about it.
Friday night Midnight show Paul Adams is running MONTY PHYON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. going fine until about reel four when WOW, The whole movie is upside down.Mr.Adams built the film and somehow got the tails wrong. UPSIDE DOWN MOVIE- soundtrack grabbled. Funny thing i think i only refuned one ticket and he said he was from ATLANTA ,so the refund ticket would be good up there. I just figured the crowd was drunk/ stoned and did not care or thought it was neat, The next Saturday the head Projectionist Chuck Dray got an ear full from Mr,Zacker. since it was no big deal with the moviegoers i guess Zack just wanted to give it to Chuck.
Can’t make this up .
COLUMBIA TWO is playing JABBERWOCKY a Monty Python film at least that is what i have on the Marquee.I have tried to watch it and force a laugh,but British humor i guess.
Nick, I saw the TAMPA PITCHER SHOW theatre.Are you going to do anything on it. I don’t think you ever mentioned it ,or are you just staying with closed theatres?
I enjoyed every friday getting the paper and just look over all the ads and most were not cut and paste like today or sharing day and date with several theatres. No at one time most cities of average size had one print for ONE SCREEN. I worked witha city manager here in Augusta,Georgia. He worked up an ad for JAWS that had how many times the PROJECTIONIST watched it Total time how much feet ,ETC. {you can read more about it on the IMPERIAL THEATRE site}
He also took a picture of CLINT EASTWOOD and had him walking down BROAD STREET as DIRTY HARRY in the ENFORCER. No talent toady.No one cares about snappy promotions. YEAH, I miss the old ads , but had enough sense to save quite a few old ads.
On the HALLOWEEN edition of the METRO SPIRIT they are running a story if THE MILLER is haunted. Believe me i have been everywhere in that theatre and NEVER came across a ghost. It is nonsense. OCT. 28 2009.
As you see on my COLUMBIA 1 and 2 postings we seem to play at older movies even in the late 70’s. I remember PETER SELLERS in THE PARTY it played at COLUMBIA ONE. I think a week at most. Filler?
COLUMBIA TWO played HEROES first run ; an ABC THEATRE. I noticed on the end credits on HEROES the song CARRY ON WAYARD SON by KANSAS was in the film version because i heard it everynight walking down to check the exits. I could swear i saw HEROES on tv only it had a different music ending .like classical or something.
Before i worked at NATIONAL HILLS and had to buy a ticket i saw THE MAN THAT LOVED CAT DANCING and with a title like that no one would believe it was a pretty good western.I also saw SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE there and it too was a good movie.I had always wanted to get FIVE on a late show,but we never did. At least i don’t have it written down.

Well, we got it what Mr.Tinney really didn’t want a film about a GAY killer or a killer of GAYS and can you believe it AL PACINO is the star. CRUISING is not a Columbia County movie or for that fact an Augusta movie. IT has special warning about the subject matter discretion is urged for younger audiences.
I have seen parents bring kids to R rated ,but what kind of parent would bring a child to this? {2009- it did do okay, but not a long run}.
COLUMBIA TWO we have LOGAN’S RUN. Picked it up from MASTERS 4. I guess one day i will get over us getting their films. Doesn’t seem to bother anyone else. I am not impressed with this flick.
Can you believe it withall the good CHRISTMAS movies out we are stuck with MOMENT BY MOMENT with JOHN TRAVOLTA and LILY TOMLIN. They said she had first billing, but TRAVOLTA is the only way to sell this flick. COLUMBIA ONE 1978.
