I always hate to hear the truth,“film will be a thing of the past” I worked in a time that as much as i hated carrying film cans up to the booth for the projectionist I felt i had something in my hand,Clint Eastwood’s latest western,Woody Allen’s comedies or a bio-pic.what do they do now have put in a envolpe and mail it to you,No film cans,No going up to the booth a picking up clips from a movie cut by a projectionist,no looking at the film can and see all the different movies that had used those cans. I was a booth the other day and the movie came in a cardboard BOX.Glad I got out of the business in 1983.
Might be,I just took it from the 1956 motion picture almanac.We are aware about how they are constanly changing names,makes you not want to add a theatre.
Why does everyone have to Charge to see archives.my local paper wants some crazy amount to see the old newspaper ads on our old theatres.I guess i could go to the Library for free and access,but what a pain everyone has to make a buck.History should be free.
most of those guys will be glad to let you video tape. I came across one prick in Beauford,S.C. at the Hwy 21 Drive-in.Today he is gone,him and his crabby old wife, and new owners have it they gave me an extensive interview,great new owners. Hwy 21 is on CT.
Decent article on the future of the MILLER THEATRE in todays AUGUSTA CHRONCILE.latina Emerson@ augustachroncile.com Article has two color pictures of the MILLER.Marquee and Lobby facing Broad Street. Hope you guys check it out.
“DICK TRACY” opens here and here is a new one,buy a “DICK TRACY” T-shirt from GCC and wear it to see “DICK TRACY” that is your ticket.Mr.Zacker,got some great Stills from the movie and were later to burn up when his house caught fire. I wish he would have let me hold them. Water damage.
I looked at all the theatre Circuits from my 1956 Motion picture Almanac,then state by state and couldn’t find one.Might have closed before 1956,J.E. Martin might have owned the downtown theatre.
He was the worst kind of a preacher,the theatre would have been better served showing 007 movies.

Stein Theatres seem to own quite a few South Georgia theatres,but none in Flordia,at least in 1956 there were none in Flordia.
Was the creepy Basement full of old one sheets? I hit a Gold mine in an “OLD CREEPY BASEMENT” in the MILLER THEATRE.

Thanks Ken for all the theatres and pictures most of us will never get to see in person with our cameras.
I think I could have come up with a better name than Unit 4 Cinemas.
