July 28 1969 now showing THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE rated X with the second feature HELL IN THE PACIFIC rated G. I always thought that HELL IN THE PACIFIC was more of an M rating.But the rating system was different in those days.
Starting July 31 1969 OLIVER returns with 2 shows daily at 2;30 and an evening show at 8:00 ADVANCE TICKETS ON SALE NOW. Evening and sunday matinees is $2.25 .
July 28 1969 NATIONAL HILLS is playing the comedy IF IT’S TUESDAY THIS MUST BE BELGIUM, Rated G Box office opens at 1:45 pm shows at 2:00, 3:35, 5:30 7:25 & 9:15 Admission is Adults $1.50 and child 75 cents.
All i was saying or meaning to is NATIONAL HILLS was the only theatre in town that ran 70mm. Heck, I have a section of 70mm print from SOUND OF MUSIC. At National Hills like i guess Certain theatres in the states had the MGM 70mm MOVIE line up: RYAN'DAUGHTER, SOUND OF MUSIC, GONE WITH THE WIND,and 2001. Seemed like every fall those classics would hit town. Of the four 2001 was the only one i cared about, Too many crazy old white ladies would come To SOUND OF MUSIC and would complain about the theatre being Too HOT or COLD, TOO loud or offened by a trailer. I hated It.
Somewhere on COLUMBIA SQUARE CINEMAS, Which i wish read COLUMBIA 1 and 2 theatres I tell a story of about a 2 inch snow that closed up this city,But we were on the Screen and while no one showed up for COLUMBIA ONE, in COLUMBIA TWO we had the animated LORD OF THE RINGS and doggone it 6 or 7 people showed up. WE did not have a 9:20 showing. SNOW SHOULD NOT STOP YOU TENNESSEE FOLKS !
YEAH, Often at REGENCY 1.2.3. on the last show we would cut the bulb off and run the print.I think we did that one or two times at COLUMBIA 1 and 2. Personally, that is the way i enjoy watching a movie. I remember watching Woody Allen’s SMALL TIME CROOKS all alone in a Regal theatre here.
Tlsloews, That is hard to believe that you guys were not playing day and date with some theatre in Nashville even in those days Nashville was a good size city. That is one thing i hated when we were playing a film and on the other side of town it was pkaying or worse yet at a Drive-in. I know TAXI DRIVER ran along run at the IMPERIAL but i was at National Hills during the run. Man, I love 007 i sure hope you got some one sheets. IN my whole career i never worked a Bond film.
I think we might played a couple of Connery’s earlier Bonds on a late show,But Georgia Theatres got all the UA product. CUCKOO’S NEST had a long run at MASTERS 4 then it got shipped to SOUTHGATE CINEMA. I don’t think Plitt ever played it.
COLUMBIA ONE We are playing another road action smash up movie,man since SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT that is a constant booking. Now Showing
THUNDER AND LIGHTING with David Carridine and Kate Jackson
rated PG. Does pretty good business. KUNG-Fu and CHARLIE’S ANGELS maybe that is the draw.
COLUMBIA TWO Who makes up such titles and do they think about the guys that have to put them up?
GEORGE SEGAL JACQUELINE BISSET
WHO IS KILLING
THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE ?
RATED PG
This was a big title in 1978 but i got it all on the marquee pretty much like you see it. I only took a handful of puctures of my marquees today i wish i would have taken more.
Yeah, you are probably right, The management and staff probably did not care. Only one that might have would have been a crusty old projectionist that might have been tempted to say “ Goodbye,Tampa”
WALT DISNEY’S THE WORLD’S GREATEST ATHLETE and second hit SNOWBALL EXPRESS. Admission Children 3 to 11 50 cents all others 12 and over reg. price $ 1.50 .
We had another SKYVIEW DRIVE IN in Augusta ,Georgia that was very large and operated well into the late 70’s. The two screens were probably 30 miles apart.
I had kept a theatre journal during my days in the business never thinking about something like CT. For 2 or 3 years I wrote what happened at THE IMPERIAL, NATIONAL HILLS, COLUMBIA One and Two all in Augusta,Ga. COLUMBIA SQUARE CINEMAS listed on CT. It was COLUMBIA 1 and 2 When i worked there not the lousy Quad they made it into.ALL are on cinema tresures!
I wish I had more for you guys, but i can add in 1956 it held 500 cars and was owned at that time by Wincek & Tate. There was also a SPOTLIGHT DRIVE IN there that capacity was 608 and was owned by HANNA THEATRE SERVICES.
