When I was popping corn i use to get so pissed when they would run upstairs and grabbed what I POPPED.It got so bad the girls drew Straws to see who would go up and get the Popcorn from Mike.this AT National Hills by the time I got to Columbia Square and Regency I NO LONGER had to Pop.think the girls did it alot at Regency,I think when I started in 1974 it was the Guys JOB.Good Story. I hope to get some pictures up soon from our Regency days when Nick gets to them in Tampa.

Jim Brown Starred in “100 Rifles” I found a one sheet at the MILLER Theatre in Augusta where the Management had covered up a section of Welch and Brown in a Hug.Wonder if the Folks in Florida did the same thing.I left the one-sheet just the way they left it with the paper still on.
