dhroc,boy you hit it on the nail.there is nothing special about going to the movies.Look at the crowds today,most of them a bunch of clowns.It was starting to fade out a bit when I was in the business,but I can remember on certain adult type films,and I Do not mean X-rated,folks would come dressed as if going to church,now they dress the same way at the 20 Plex as they do sadly, at church.Good comment,dhroc.
Always watch when getting your money back.She could have stole your money,or if they were over that night then you were right.I could NEVER just give money out because someone would come back later telling me we shorted them.I most likely to keep the peace would give them a couple of passes to come back.Watch Transactions,Cwhite.
I think our seats at GCC were never that good.But really I could really care less about seats,our dollar theatre here has regulsr seats and they are just fine to me.And Anyways Carmike will probably CLOSE this location within a few years,they have a history of doing so.
When i saw the first the Platter system in the mid 70’s i knew right then the Union would be out the Door and within about 10 years or Popcorn girls were running the booth!
Thanks Cwalczak,I mailed the article to my nephew who is a big John Wayne fan.Thanks ennis,you were in some of the best years to be in the theatre business,by the time i got in in 1974 i could an end to the showmanship days.
You know they did,tisloews.
Yes,Andy.According to Bill Barkley the Box Office is still standing.

Thanks for a look at the ads.I still love the old ones so much more.
Yeah,I should have taken a few since no one in Athens ever gets on CT.
Maybe someone will buy it and run second run movies there.Bet there would be a market there.
Never heard of the Richard Widmark movie on Marquee,wonder if it had a different title in the states?
Thanks for the pictures.
Opening a Twin with two musicals does not make sense Unless everyone in that town is crazy about musicals!
Well put,Simon.
I bet John,Paul,George,and Ringo saw movies here.
Croft, thanks for the great pictures,hope it is still standing.

I KNEW it was a misprint,but went with the book I had I serached all over North Dakota for another Aberdeen.
Kid shows were almost as bad as Midnight Shows.Almost.

I put in search before submitting the Drive-in and it came back no such Drive-in on CT.Sorry about that.
John, a pity someone.or the town couldn’t keep the marquee going.It must hurt to see it like I did in the 1985 picture.
Thanks CWalczak for another great piece of reading.
