MELROSE has moved to my top favorites.That theatre should in operation. Great night shot of “Officer and a Gentleman”. Nashville what are you thinking.
TLSLOEWS. you mean the theatre is still standing after going dark in 1985? You would think someone in that city might try to reopen it unless it is in a bad part of town,and I bet it is in our “south augusta”.that explains it.I know you have taken pictures,Have you been tempted to venture in if an old exit door was ajar? Nick and me got in the University in Charlotte that way.I know it is tresspassing.You might have told me the about the MELROSE still standing.
You live or die by your bookings.If one doesn’t want to run rated R movies more power to them,but the community needed to support them on the G and PG movies.Thank goodness there wasn’t that stupid PG -13 rating then.
MORE NICK, if you still have that picture of the MODJESKA being torn down do you think you can get it on CT.Also the box office at Regency Mall. I gave the pictures to ROBIN ,but haven’t seen any of them.I can’t remember what else i sent,but if you could get them on it would be great. TLSLOEWS sent her some Drive-in pictures from Nashville so I hope he has better luck.Maybe He outta send them to you,I think the newness of CT has worn off with Robin.
I thought when the Carolina added the penthouse cinema upstairs that it was one of a kind, but since being on CT i have noticed a few downtown theatre pretty much did the same thing. Seems like everytime i visited {my cousin managed} that all the good movies seem to go to the Penthouse. I remember seeing “Pale Rider” in the old theatre with the booth taking up a good bit on the old theatre.
Cone,If you have anything on the Alps and Athens Drive-ins in Athens plez add them to the very small intro i did. Great to read your articles. TLSLOEWS.you a theatre dawg too.
If anyone has anything on this Drive-in it will be Nick. I have it parking 270 cars making it one of Tampa’s smaller Drive-ins it was owned in 1956 by L.A.Stein.
Nope, Nick i think between what you did and the few i did that is about all except for a theatre in North Augusta that Bill will have get some info to me on.
I would like to see more theatres on CT from Macon. We have managed to cover a good of theatre history in Atlanta and Augusta,Can’t believe there are not some old theatre Dawgs in the city of Little Richard.
Thank you TLSLOEWS and NICK.Bet you are glad you don’t have to add a theatre for me anymore,Sad part is i have just about done all the theatres around Augusta.With your help,i might add.
When i worked for GCC we inventoried the whole concession,not just what was out in the concession stand,but the stock room of boxes and boxes of candy.And we did this every night not just Thursday night when the weekly reports had to be sent off to Boston.Plez don’t blame it on staff.Too many old theatre dawgs out here know better.

Maybe Chuck can help you,He and I seem to be the only folks interested in this grand old theatre.

Keep the LIDO alive folks in that area.
Just heard from a friend who lives in Warrenton,that work is now being done on the KNOX THEATRE.Wish someone up in that area could keep us updated.

Thanks Joe.
Hey, if she puts them on come back here to the MELODY site and let me know i check all my theatres near home often.
Never heard that quote before,Should have shared with other theatre chains.

Yes, it parked 250 cars and in 1956 it was operated by Hanna Theatre Services.Which ran quite a few Drive-ins in that state.
If anyone has anything on this Drive-in it will be Nick. I have it parking 270 cars making it one of Tampa’s smaller Drive-ins it was owned in 1956 by L.A.Stein.
The Mt.Scott Drive-in in 1956 parked 500 cars compared to 600 cars at the Hawkins and Austin Drive-ins in Lawton. Mt.Scott was owned by Volney Hamm.
Nope, Nick i think between what you did and the few i did that is about all except for a theatre in North Augusta that Bill will have get some info to me on.
I haven’t seen Robin on CT in quite awhile.Maybe she wasn’t a really an old theatre dawg.
I don’t have anything on that theatre.
I would like to see more theatres on CT from Macon. We have managed to cover a good of theatre history in Atlanta and Augusta,Can’t believe there are not some old theatre Dawgs in the city of Little Richard.
Must be a Georgia thing.Bunch of us from ABC/PLITT try and get together for dinner once a year in Augusta.Great to have friends like that.
Nick is there a dollar theatre in Tampa.A second run theatre there might do good if you can keep the trash out.
Made more sense than a lot of double features I have noticed on Drive-ins on CT.
All i have is that old newspaper ad.Bill might have seen it,but not me.
