SEt for tonight by a newspaper ad put together a few days before……..NOV.23 1963. A TWIST – A-ROO. Twist contest prizes and passes. Taureens 5 performs.{don’t know if it was a local group?}
Jayne Mansfield in THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT and second film WILD FOR KICKS with David Farrar and i can’t believe it could it be the same actor? CHRISTOPHER LEE is listedi in the ad. You will see SIN CELLARS in this second feature. I just wonder if they had the TWIST contest after JFK was killed?

It wouldn’t be long before GEORGIA THEATRES twin this beautiful theatre. One of the last movies to play in that single seat house is the forgetable THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN with Ben Johnson who must have needed a paycheck. RATED R. Jan. 28 1977.

I had read this was one of the worst movies made in the 60’s and good old Daniel Village got stuck with it. In the ritzy neighborhod near Daniel Village i think it was safe to say that CHE! died a quick death. Rated M. {no GP rating yet.}
