I have several newspaper movie ads i clipped out of the paper there the MANRING ran some pretty nice ads.Boy,the ROSA DRIVE-In really looked like a great place to see a movie like the ALAMO.
I never understood suspended. I missed an employee meeting Tinney had set up.I had only been to 30 of them. Still, i should have there.But,it goes back to being too big for your britches. I know he really didnot want to fire me.I know he didn’t because of all the managers under him he knew i would trek down to the Imperial when noone else would.
Thank you Jack Coursey.i left a post on another Wheaton area theatre about the Aspen Hill Twin months ago trying to find it, thanks for the time. I also went to a drive in around there called the QUEENS DRIVE-In or something like that,Does that ring a bell since i have you on CT figured i would ask.
Movies I saw ZEPPLIN with Michael York. WHEN DINOS RULED THE EARTH [sexy cavegirls] but rated G and the final movie i ever saw before going back to Georgia was THE OMEGA MAN with Charlton Heston. I still have the flyer they gave away at the Concession. THANKS FOR A GREAT THEATRE.Flyer from THE OMEGA MAN WAS like a newspaper,
I spent a few weeks in Wheaton with my cousins.They were a bit older so i found the Aspen Hill twin Cinema.Being from Augusta We had not gotten our first Twin theatre so i was excited to go to the theatre. I remember a record store nearby.
I think you will really like CT when you get to talking with other theatre people from around the world.and It will happen.one of them will come across usually a crazy story and comment.Most likely,“HEY,Robin that happened here but on a different night!”
Jack, Can you help me.Back in the early 70’s i spent a few weeks in Wheaton and would go to a twin theatre called i think the ASPEN HILLS Twin Theatre does that sense. I am hoping you might be a native there and remember movies there in the 70’s. i saw “OMEGA MAN” there among others, Thanks.
Even with my pretty good memory,it took awhile,but Tinney fired me in Nov. 1980. that night i drove up to NATIONAL HILLS guess in a state of shock,but sometimes it does one good to be brought down to earth if one is only an Assistant Mgr,at a twin theate.
GREAT,You can count on ME wanting pictures{COPIES} The picture you took from the IMPERIAL was the marquee “EYEWITNESS” and “DEATH HUNT”. I hope you can find them. I will bring my album. Bill has hundreds.
Another great thing about this is that you will get to know other theatre people and really enjoy discussing working there. I am talking with theatre people from Nashville to Hawaii. tisloews is one guy iam always talking the old days about.He worked for Loews but loves my stories,as i do his.
How could such a concept theatre work. X rated porn on one side and maybe a G or PG on the other screen. Surely,they were separated with no chance of a child slipping in a X rated movie,And what about the restrooms.
I have seen twin theatres play a X rated feature like Warhol’s “DRACULA”,but no a constant flow of adult movies.Quite,frankly i am surprized it ever went over in Houston.and i wouldn’t want to manage such a set up.
Nick, When you see NATIONAL HILLS,IMPERIAL and COLUMBIA 1and2 on it will be me and Robin talking old days at our theatres. Can you believe we are getting 5 inches of SNOW here in Georgia tonight.WHERE IS AL GORE?
I have Columbia 1 and 2. I have the picture you took of the Imperial closing night.Several of National Hills, Miller,SouthGate,Daniel Village.North 85 Drive-in,Modjeska and Hilltop Drive-in.
Maybe,they can take what i wrote and combine them since theyare the same theatre to help folks searching for the theatre.DAVIS THEATRE/OVERTON THEATRE. I guess that does happen often with theatres.
Good Golly,Robin you worked in a DRIVE-In. You must have worked for several chains.You are more of a old theatre dawg than me. I figured you worked at NATIONAL HILLS and got pluggedin everywhere else for Plitt theatres like I did.I never even realized you guys went to ATL with MR.Anderson.Maybe BIll Told me. You can blame him for not inviting you all to our big 1985 1986 reunions. I know his daughter should have been able to find someone becuse she knew you all.
I have collected stuff from ticket stubs found in closed theatres to Drive -in speakers from here to East Tenn. But,like so many theatre collectors it would hard to part with it.
I remember my folks coming back from your beautiful state and i told them all i wanted was the Honolulu friday paper to see the movie ads and when i saw that a Drive-in was in that state it sorta threw me because of space and real estate. for years i kept that paper and it still might be here and the first “INDIANA JONES” movie was playing at that Drive-in.I remember that like it was yesterday. I’ll get my DVD’s out and look closly at the end credits.I like to say it was HAWAII theatre.Thanks vito.
I did TAKE pictures of the PASTIME theatre there,But Heck, I ain’t got no way to put them on here.I wish i could mail them to CT and let those computers brains put them on.
Your picture on the ROSA Reda drive in looked great,Chuck.
i have a picture of the Projectionist there he looked like he was a vetran of the booth,not some teenager.

Played it first run at REGENCY 1.2.3. Cinemas.Augusta. I never could see what the big deal was with kids wanting to cross over all day.
Tislowes,I thought you were saving those one sheets for your daughter?
