Drift Theater #2

A fellow named John Newsome commenting on a 2015 Facebook post about the Drift Theatre said the first time he went to a movie theater was the Drift, in 1968. The movie was Clint Eastwood in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” (apparently took a while for movies to reach this small town, as it was a 1966 release.)

Ernest Turner opened the 550-seat Drift Theatre #2 on November 20, 1947 at a cost of $80,000 with “Last of the Red Men.” Closing date in entry not correct.
