Like Nick it became my favorite at age ten on the big screen at NATIONAL HILLS THEATRE in Augusta,70mm pretty sure for awhile at least it was reserved seating.781 seats.
REGENCY I,II and III long gone dark was finally bulldozed down inside the mall. pictures are on GENERAL CINEMA MEMORIES on Facebook. Today is a sad day…
was talking to one of the remainging projectionist and he told me something i don’t think i knew. National Hills was suppose to be a Dimension 35 theatre.
i was talking to friend whose dad ran movies down the street at the Imperial;he loaned several of his nice one sheets to Joe Goode[owner]for pictures playing and never got a single one back…Guess JOe never used NSS.
i shot a video inside after it had been gutted pretty much…

Had the Cherokee Theatre on CT,but no longer see it here.
200 cars as mentioned above,owned by G.O. Thompson in the late Fifties..
funny how 20 plexes rate as a cinema treasure when they are main reason for the end of the good days of the theatre biz..
neat stories…
