On this day, “Giant” premiered at the Roxy Theatre in New York City with the local DuMont station, WABD, televising the arrival of the cast and crew.

“The Private Eyes” and “Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don’t Come Back!)” was the very last double feature to play at the Skyway Drive in in Las Vegas in 1980.
It closed in January 1981. The lot sat empty until 1993 to make way for the construction of the Boulder Station H/C.
I have not yet figured out what it’s final single feature was in January `81.
