Mike, I am new here to this site and I love it! Can you give me any pointers on “how to navigate” CT? Are email addresses available? Any info you have would be appreciated! Jeff in Texas
Thanks Mike for the info. I did confirm that Edward Marks was gone from Brevard by 1954 – in fact, he was gone by 1953, so those Almanacs were definitely behind. (or they didn’t update them carefully)
PatriciaNC,Found mine in an old theatre along with two Television Almanacs from 1960 to 61,they cover everything about TV stations in the U.S. and they aren’t small all of them including the Motion Picture Almanac have over 900 pages.I saw on a site on CT where you can buy the same book I have or another year.have no idea where it was at,but someone was selling them.They are Hardback books.
Yes PatriciaNC,Mike is the man.They were first called “REEL AMANAC>
Hello Mike – I believe, though not 100% positive, that Edward Marks would have been gone from Brevard by 1954. Guess the Almanac runs somewhat behind (makes sense considering it would have to be compiled in advance). Cool – didn’t know there were Motion Picture Almanacs.
I was going by my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac for research.Patricia.
Edward (or E.M.) Marks was co-owner of the Brevard Drive-In in the early 1950s but if he also owned the Star Drive-In it was not in 1956. By 1956, Marks was in Wilmington, NC overseeing the drive-in theatres there (including the Starway).
Going to steal your book Mike.
BREVARD,North Carolina had TWO drive-ins,the Bervard Drive-in and STAR Drive-in. Both parked 200 cars. Brevard was owned by E.M.Marks as was the STAR DRIVE-In. in 1956.
There was a Brevard Drive-In around 1950 owned by a Mr. Montieth and his son-in-law, Edward Marks. I do not know if it was brand new then but imagine so. I wish I knew more but alas do not. Would love to see at least an old advertisment from this drive-in (I believe a picture would be too much to hope for).
That’s Neely Rd. I did not live here when this drive-in was open. The info I have is from old time local folk. Would love to hear from Anyone with additional memories of this drive-in or any corections.
Correction – This drive-in was not originally located where the out door fitness- sports complex is but across from Ecusta Paper. It relocated about a mile or so away on Old Hendersonville Hwy. near Macneely Rd.. 1970s? Probably to get out of a flood plain. Closed around 1988-89. It is now a skate-park. The first location did retain features of the original drive-in including the car speaker poles until about 2004. Charlie Story
