My copy of “No More Joy” arrived today. Watched it and really enjoyed the movie…It’s a must watch…

I did know Ms. Hazel had passed. My mother and grandmother called to let me know last month. Joy & my grandfather Jack Pope Sr. were partners and I knew Joy as a child and teenager. My grandmother(Dorothy H. Pope) & Ms. Hazel knew each other for many years. I only met her a couple of times and it was many many years ago. My mother Dianna Pope-Lolley remembers Joy & Hazel very well growing up and that big house in Shreveport. She said the house had 7 ½ bathrooms!

My grandfaher Jack Pope owned cinema III until the early 1990’s when he sold it to Cinemark…I don’t remember it being a $1 house but I could be wrong. It showed most of the lower drawing movies & those that the Cinema 10 chose not to show! It closed in the late 1990’s early 2000’s…It was a nice movie house but had gone down over the last several years!
