AS in Warrens comment of 6/29/07. We had the LOEWS VENDOME in Nashville, Tennessee. But almost everyone just called it the LOEWS.Also the 1945 picture is nice but I did not see the theatre in it,maybe my eyes are going.
By the way Patsy the Tennessee Theatre did not have country decor,it had Tennessee History decor.Nashville is a city,just close to the country.We have got the best of both worlds.Capitol city and cows within 20 miles of each other.
By the way Mike I think that I would be the Perfect Manager of a Movie and Tavern since I have done both but not at the same time. I would not have to sneak my beer or drinks in and put it in the ice machine,as I have done in the past.Keep the stories coming.
All our daily reports and everything else were hand written. We had to type our weekly reports on a “OLD” manual typewriter,and send all the dailys,bank receipts,ect, to New York every Friday.When we paid our vendors,we would write the checks in Nashville and mail them to New York to be signed. and they would mail them back to the vendors.We did not even know what a computer was then.Old school bookkeeping stuff I guess.Good time though! Also I used to get to park in the parking garage behind the Loews Crescent for movie passes as it was downtown and we did not have our own parking.
Mike we had the ugly red jackets but we did not have any patches.We had our LOEWS name tags and our black bow ties. We had had to have our own black pants and white shirts.We looked cool though!Also we did not have to have them cleaned ourselves, but Loews had them cleaned at lease twice a year even if they did not need it or not.Ha Ha big spenders!
You are right Joe that is a picture of the upper level were you could go into the balcony.They also had smoking loge up there too, and restrooms, I think at one time they was another concession stand up there I may be wrong. I know they had concessions and beer stands in the upper level when they had concerts there in the late 70,s.
Yeah Ulver, I have eaten at Arnolds, it is good stuff, used to see Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed in there sometimes.They waited on Chet he did not have to go through the line like everybody else.
Mike I thought of another, There was an oyster bar one block down from the LOEWS CRESCENT in printers alley you may have of heard of the alley “TOURIST TRAP”.When we were slow I would go downthere after a show had started and have a couple of beers and maybe a sandwich.About once a week I would take Betty the owner a cup sleeve full of fresh poped popcorn that was always good for a free beer or two.Those were the days.Back then you could get away with drinking at work as long as you kept yourself together, never caught any flax ever.I know this comment has nothing to do with this site, I just like to tell the stories.
Yeah Mike I remember one night I was drinking some wine in my office and spilled it all over our daily report.Of course it stained it pretty well. The next day I told our city manager that I spilled grape juice on it,he just kind of looked at me funny but did not say anything else about it.Had to mail all the dailies to New York at the end of the week with this one report all messed up.You could not rewrite them, all the managers and cashiers had their signatures and handrighting on them.So you could not forge another one.
Thanks for the info Chuck1231, the next time I go to Evansville I will check it out. I have been there several times but did not know about this theatre. Good to see that it is still in operation.
Pretty good size houses for a muti-plex. Any pictures out there anyone?
On second look ,I do see the theatre on the far right,hard to see though.

Nice looking theatre, lots of neon on this place, looks great in the night shots.

Yes the only LOEWS CRESCENT that I have heard of.
Just another day in Paradise!!!
Oh by the way do they have a smoking section?
I bet they sell a lot of popcorn there!!!

You are right Chuck1231. I tried to find it but could not.

Thats nice were are the projectors.?
SiliconSam, you chill out,do they have any projectors and screens there, I do not think so.
Nice photo, you can tell that it was an old LOEWS marquee, redone for the new owner.
I though this site was about Movie theatres.
Thanks for the information.,
