Just read on Historic Nashville that the Princess reopened as the Crescent Cinerama on Christmas Day 1959 with a new 45 foot screen.

Jack Coursey has posted 2 photos of this theatre on Cinema Treasures,but they are posted on the wrong Crescent Theatre page.

There a several photos of this theatre posted on this page I wonder how one of them could be posted at the top of the page,with the story of the theatre?

Have you thought of getting on the Nashville Newspaper Archieve just to look at the old ads.I spent two days doing it,Had I had a printer I would have run out of paper,I enjoy writing lists of the Features and putting them on CT.

Good News,Other theatre stuff you have on is great.

I have heard so many Theatre stories like this be it “THE EXORCIST” or “JAWS” but never witnessed it.

We had a midnight showing of the movie “Carrie” first time it was shown in Nashville,of course no one had seen the movie.We had about 400 folks for this screening.At the end of the movie when Amy Irving is putting the flowers on the grave and the arm comes out of the grave about 20 people ran out of the theatre nearly tearing the doors off the hinges and ran out into Church Street.Good this it was about 1:30 A.M. and no traffic.I had never seen such a reaction to a film like that.We ran this show for about 7 weeks.

Still it is a pity Nashville of all places with the Music World someone didn’t think to save one theatre,Guess Aususta is lucky we have Three,Four if you count the ART/Cinema One on lower Broad St.Glad Nick got YOUR great pictures on.

You are right Mike this theatre was also the last Downtown house razed, it was a single level parking lot for many years till the Condo’s were built on the site.The city gets a lot of tax money on a high rise,lots more than a theatre or other building.Thats just the way of the world.Also parking lots make a lot of money for the investment till they sell the land to a developer.

So Nashville,like Charlotte decided it was more important to tear down these classic buildings for parking or office space,what a shame.

Mike Rogers on April 19, 2011 at 2:12 pm

So Nashville is like Charlotte in that you guys tore down all the downtown theatres,are is one still open.the Tennessee?

TLSLOEWS on April 15, 2011 at 5:45 am

This theatre was that last operating Downtown house in Nashville.

TLSLOEWS on March 28, 2011 at 7:06 pm

I see what you mean,That is midnight movie or drive-in stuff.Now back to the Loews Crescent.

Mike Rogers on March 28, 2011 at 6:47 pm

Howver, those are Gems for Midnight Shows.movies like “Garcia'.

Mike Rogers on March 28, 2011 at 6:46 pm

I did watch it again on DVD a few months ago.Somehow my son Sean had it,It was a bad movie.I think it played here at the MILLER for a week.

TLSLOEWS on March 28, 2011 at 6:34 pm
