Well, If REGAL has it it’s lost all its ABC/PLITT Theatre glory. Dec.30 1983 sees Tim Mason manager. Another Great theatre man there was John Mackey,back in 70’s.

Lewis Tew was a showman like you just don’t see anymore. This manager had a “TOOTSIE” look-a-like contest sponsored by a top country station. The winner was a man who shaved his beard and legs to win the 85 dollars.[think they could have done better prize wise} oh, He did get a “TOOTSIE” wig,Hair Curlers.Girdle and make-up kit.

Robin,this goody was in the stack of papers now I want to make this clear I am no longer here this is Mr.Anderson’s movie from PLITT THEATRES MEMO “ RICHARD ANDERSON RECENTLY RENTED HIS THEATRE[wait a minute!his theatre didn’t you guys do all his work!]To a JEWISH LADIES ORGANIZATION FOR A SPECIAL SHOWING OF "THE CHOSEN”.“THE CHOSEN” has special appeal to those of the Judaism faith.

Robin,in that stack of material you gave me was PROMENADE stationary letter head.would you want it back just to keep.It was in Mint condition.If not you know i will take care of it. I also liked that list of things to do at opening,during the show work,and closing.Did your Mr.Anderson come up with all of that.He must have thought you all were stupid.like i said earlier,I would have lasted a week or so with him.

Nick, I know i gave you too many theatres to do! The Skyland Arts Cinema was in Hendersonville,not Forest City,I put notice on that on the Skyland Arts site,so maybe CT will fix the town.Surprized someone on CT didn’t catch it before I did. You STILL ARE the best at getting articles on CT.

Mike Rogers commented about 20th Century Drive-In on Feb 22, 2010 at 4:28 pm

Yeah,we met at a Western Film fair back in the 90’s. His favorite movie was 2001 so that did it,plus like me,he had a strange habit, that i honestly thought only Nick and I had about exploring old Drive-ins and old Theatres.A few we were able to get in.Nick and his friend Charlie hit the Flordia backroads and put on a very impressive VHS old Drive-ins and walk-ins open or closed together. I need to get mine on DVD soon.He is a big help putting my chopped up material on CT.
