“ROCKY HORROR” 4 year run? You must be talking about a Midnight Show.We had a Wild one at REGENCY I,II.and III. It is on CT.We almost lost our Business License.Story is in the Regency I.II.and III site.
Never heard of that movie in 1984 photo,noticed a “MAN THAT LOVED WOMEN” in the one sheet frame,wonder if they could be talking about the Burt Reynolds comedy? It was owned in the 50’s by Statesville Theatre Corp.
Sage Theatre was owned by Westland Theatres located at 291 Golden Gate, San Francisco. H.V.Rotus Harvey was the President. Hannah Oppie was the booker in 1956.
Okay It was a Cumberland Amusement Company theatre.Located in McMinnville,Tenn. The owner/President was Cowan Oldham.Wonder if that is how the theatre got its name?
Little bit of Help Jack, And it ain’t much is that the Dayton Theatre was owned by the Cumberland Amusement Company in 1956. Cowan Oldham was the president. Located in the Park theatre building in McMinnville.Tenn.
The Carroll Amusement Company was located in Carrollton, Georgia.
J.E.Duncan was the film buyer. It was owned by Oscar Roberts Jr, J.Ebb Duncan and A.Q.Dobbs. The film booker was Hewlett C.Jones.
Starlite 6 drive-in is a gem and Atlanta’s only Drive-in.When our local paper here in Augusta lists the ten best things to do in the state the Starlite Drive-in made the list.Almost anyone heading to Flordia going thru Atlanta make time to see this Drive-in.

One thing about alot of dollar houses they could streach out a zenox Bulb.
How did the tour go?
I FELL IN LOVE. If it is so special to you why don’t you write more than what you did above.
Always hate to see a theatre go the smut route.
Why would they keep a movie playing after everyone in town saw it.“ARTHUR” was a great film,but we never kept playing it to an empty house.
The Marrh Theatre in North Augusta,S.C. had seats for couples.It is on CT.
Another one for Carmike.

Yes,I saw that 1974-1986 Plitt.I am pretty sure that was an ABC THEATRE in 1974.I don’t think PLitt came in until 1978 or so.I worked for both chains.
