finally located another old employee Donna Glass,told me the story how she ran into a door there and got stiches in her head,,,sounds like the old days,we played hard, but the moviegoer always came first,with ushers and doormen, those long gone.sadly.
and that is a crying shame, the two major Augusta papers hardly even carried the LENOX THEATRE,which was a very nice theatre,pity folks couldn’t get along…
Yeah, Carmike was good at closing theatres,plus REgal opened a small 8 plex outside the Aiken Mall, John.
