Just checking up on The stories.Talked to some adults that took the kids to Toy Story 3-D and everyone of the adults hated the glasses,guess kids don’t mind?
Just a tiny bit of history from BOxoffice,March 1970.Manager of the Almont,Tina Slover said of “ME,NATALIE” that played the Almont it was “beautiful and revealing story” Patty Duke Starred.
Manager Jerry Reiter in a March 1970 issue of BOxoffice said that the movie “THE WILD BUNCH” played the Rialto and said “FOR TOO MUCH BLOOD FOR MY PATRONS”,but he said he got many good comments. Played Wednesday- Saturday.Cold Iowa weather.
In 1970 it was showing “ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST” the manager of the New Theatre,Terry Axley said it did good business selling Fonda on the movie. It played Sunday and Monday with Cool and dry weather.Also Playing was “THE VALLEY OF the GWANGI"It did good saturday matinee business according to Axley. "SMITH” with Glenn Ford did poor business “poor gross for a Disney”. “WINNING” was a poor performer for a Paul Newman movie.“The public knows what it wants” he said of this Newman race car picture. “HARD CONTACT” with James Coburn did no business,“UNLESS YOU ARE desperate for a picture it did nothing in a small town” said Terry Axley.
Also playing at the MACV THEATRE was “THE MAD ROOM” “packed with enough suspense to entertain the audience” Reid Ward. Played Sunday with good weather.Stella Stevens starred in this Columbia film.
Joseph Faris was the manager back in March 1970,he commented to Boxoffice on the epic movie,“BATTLE OF BRITAIN” “It was an excellent picture.Plenty of Action.Most people who saw it thought so too”.It played Wedensday- Monday.Weather was Cold.
“ACE HIGH” with Eli Wallach and Terence Hill played the MACV theatre.Reid Ward said the movie had some"very good Comedy" and it played on Monday with Clear weather.
Great list of movies thanks for listing them many I played at the theatres I worked and had forgotten.“Laughing Policeman"was certainly no comedy. Oh,For the good old days.
Yeah,at our GCC we had to store cups in booth and the union operators were not happy about it.When I got to Georgia Square Mall 4 cinemas in Athens {on CT} we had more than enough room than we did at Regency Mall{on CT] all GCC.

Still another comment from Jerry Reiter,“CASTLE KEEP” he said “just enough comedy and fighting to make it good"It played four days.
