Nov.5 1928 it was called the PARAMOUNT so that is not 1929 as written above. Playing that date was “KING OF KINGS” that entire week with special scared music.admission was Fifty and thirty-five cents.
What story from the above post about a manager that couldn’t handle some teenagers.In my day,Lady I would have yanked those little boogers out of their seats and out an exit door,I realize i am talking about another time 70’s – early eighties when the Theatre business was for the most part run by folks that truly loved movies and movie theatres.Today'like so many jobs,A job!
One of you guys mentioned quite a few posts ago about 3-D movies and like anything goes for a buck.I grew up on “YOGI BEAR”,but come on, are they just throwing darts at movie titles on the wall.
So many Drive-ins I noticed were running those R-rated CROWN INTERNATIONAL flicks like “THE TEACHER” or “STUDENT NURSES”.Probably had alot to do with driving away the Family.
With so many newspaper ads,Bob,most of them never gave a street address.Guess they assumed the Locals knew where the Theatre was,Be it a Drive-in or Downtown theatre.

Bob,I wish those ads came with street addresses,but hardly any do.
thanks Eric.The first four are pretty good picks.
Georgia Theatre in Athens faced the same fate ,but locals are saving that theatre.
Back in the middle forties they ran NO movies on Wednesdays.
Tony Curtis in “THE OUTSIDER ” played here Nov.8 1962. When “EL CID” played special admission was 90 cents,65 cents, and 35 cents.
Yes, put it on the Missouri Theatre.This is where it needs to be.
Very nice pictures.thanks guys.
Thanks for an imformative story,theatreman926.
I wonder if Van Williams will be in the Re-make of the Green Hornet.I know this is off topic again.
Same to the CT gang.

At least they said “bye'.
Thanks spectrum.At least it isn’t another parking lot.
What a Great Book!
Thanks Andy.Miss those REAL ads.
Didn’t want to include it.Sure it’s no Cinema Treasure,but have noticed so many X-rated theatres,maybe in another life it was a decent theatre.

Once again it is how you spot the Ad in the newspaper,One year it’s Fox East Hill; The next it’s THE FOX THEATRE.

the newspaper ads were bland,no art work,Just boxed in movie titles.
Thanks Don for a great picture.
It was also advertised as a “ROCKING CHAIR THEATRE” in the late and early seventies,with a new name the NEW SPRINGS.
