At NationaL Hills theatre the Shopping Center had alot of Foot traffic and we too would sell popcorn to folks off the street. Just made me think of it. I do have a “W.W. DIXIEDANCE KINGS newspaper ad from when it played here,but since i can’t seem to get Nick Or Robin on to put it on.We could Clip off the Augusta theatre and just run the ad. On the Crescent Theatre site.
I guess you could get it from the Nashville papers if you don’t have a copy of the newspaper ad.I remember reading you had a program?
Played First Run at NATIONAL HILLS THEATRE in Augusta,Ga.Even though it was 35mm it was great on that large screen.Played several weeks in a 781 seat house.
silicon Sam , I see a SAGE DRIVE-IN THEATRE in Van Horn owned by Lee Welch.Could this be the Drive-in you submitted.1956 Motion Picture Almanac.
Sure sounds like one,but I don’t know if Lewis was ever in Texas,seemed liked a lot of his screens were up and down the East coast.
Well,Here’s hopeing you get lucky one day and find a rare “DRACULA” one sheet.
You would think it would have stayed there.Well, I have never worked a World Premiere,You are going to have to do some research and find out.
