YOU know you love the theatre business when you are on a twenty foot ladder changing movies out in a cold Georgia rain.I did keep a few letters from Columbia 1 and 2 after it closed i got and grabbed what i could before it went to the dump. I could always find an exit door ajar.

Well,when i talked to Hal Holbrook.and I know i have told you this during his Mark Twain show and afterwards we talked a long time back stage and when i asked about movies he had done he really had no idea what I was talking about,And i got to thinking,it is just a job. We fans get caught up in it.You hit your mark and say your lines.Brilliant Actor ,but it wasn’t important to him about being a bad guy in “MAGNUM FORCE”.

It never really bothered me when people would bring food in. I had enough to worry about on opening night/ weekend. Cans were a problem. Our per cap on customers was never a problem,most folks then, hit the concession.70’s early 80’s.
