Robin, I don’t have the equipment or smarts to put pictures on here,but if you can I can bring pictures of most if not the Theatres you have listed on you page. Just let me know.I would be so proud to AUGUSTA’S finest screens on here.
I see the Overton Theatre.Thanks. Did i tell you a NATIONAL HILLS employee is having a reunion FEB 20.She was assistant Mgr.I had already been canned at COLUMBIA SQ. But I did know her. She hopes to have a few old employees.Barkley WILL be there. She’s really into CT,so maybe someone here can keep our past alive.
Yeah,I mailed the Dreamland and Overton{Texas} several weeks ago. If you lost them i can do another.My friend Tim at the Imperial was working on thr DREAMLAND,but like said he works when the mood hits.
Which i understand beacuse he is doing research and mine mostly comes me remembering.
The projectionist yelled something like"get the BLEEP out of here"
I guess “FANNY HILL” sounded inviting. I ran back p the hill to the shopping center my mom was buying food at.You just wonder if one or both of those “boys” are on CT today.both like theatres.
I have a son SEAN, who did follow dad’s footsteps and did work a few years in the business,I guess he will take care of that even though i wasn’t happy the day i saw my"CLOCKWORK ORANGE" one sheet pinned up in his room.
Vito, Do you remember the theatre shown on the end credits on one of my favorite TV shows HAWAII5-0. I think the first three seasons it showed a downtown theatre,
Also,i swear I saw aDRIVE-In in one episode of 5-0. Could have been the KAM DRIVE-In.I mean,I understand you might not know this.
I know most of the UA product played there.I don’t think it was open when Connery played Bond under the UA banner. I know in fact “A SPY WHO LOVED ME” played there cause John Mackey,Mgr,let me do a newspaper ad on that movie that i have even today.
Thanks so much. Here is a harder one and I am not running a test,but do you know the name of the Drive in in the movie “TELEFON” with Charles Bronson. I remember because while filming in the lot they ran the same loop through the projector during the action.I figured it was Southern California. Is FORT BENTON DRIVE IN still open.
IN 1956 it parked 165 cars and was owned by Kooper and Mygren. According to Motion Picture Almanac.Have no address.
When i submit a theatre I always try and do a liitle research.sometimes it’s wrong and you guys catch it. But,I just like to add more when i contribute a new Theatre.But that is just me.
In the movie"THUNDERBOLT andLIGHTFOOT" there is a Drive-in that is in a good part of the film.And i think the movie was shot in Montana and i wonder if anyone up that way knows the Drive-in.I think it was filmed somewhere around those Northwest states.
I have often wondered what to do with all my one sheets and 8 by10 stills,pressbooks and such when i pass on.I know i could sell them to collectors,but i thought it would nice if there was a place one could send all of ones collection to be taken care of and shown to the public. Most of my stuff would have ended up in the landfill had i not save it while working at various theatres.
Wish there was more of a story.
Yeah, do what Chuck 1231 said. I am so glad someone in Augusta besides Ray Hutto and myself is getting on CT with REAL theatre stories. MALL CORNERS might be on CT,If not I can’t wait to read what you write as others will enjoy too.
I also worked a few months at GCC GEORGIA SQUARE CINEMAS 1.2.3.4. in Athens.Quitting the business for in the middle 80’s. the year “THE BIG CHILL” came out.I went out with that flick.
Hey, I hate too be mean,BUT didn’t he have the uglyest kids you ever saw? You might contact Mr.Tinney he’s in the phone book.He came to all our get togethers in the 80’s and i swear had i had your address we would have invited you,Cathy and anyone else. Blame Bill Barkley he could have tracked you all down!
I snuck on the lot one night only to get chased off by the PROJECTIONIST. I just remembered this while reading 20th CENTURY FOX DRIVE IN story on CT.
The Very adult movie was"FANNY HILL" i never did see any thing at the age of 12 or 13. Didn’t have time.
Oh, I have added some history on the MODJESKA if you get a chance. Maybe you have stories your parents told about the Modjeska. It always gave me the creeps even grown up walking over to borrow ice from them when i was pulling extra duty at the IMPERIAL. “Mike Rogers is good we can plug him inanywhere” a Mr,Tinney quote.
Hate to hear that.I forgot the ART theatre.I think it might have been called CINEMA 1 when you were at the IMPERIAL. Bill, gave me a copy of the marquee on closing night; I have it framed. He said you took the picture. Thanks for doing that.
Golly, Robin I didn’t know you married a theatre guy. I hope you had better luck than me i married my Box office girl at GCC.had four beautiful kids all by-products of GENERAL CINEMA.She’s gone. I got the KIDS which are about all grown.
I had no idea you guys followed him to Atlanta. I met him a few times and just never connected.Not like Mr.Tinney whom might have been too easy on us. When I moved over to GCC at the mall i met my wife there,she was my box office girl .We stayed married for 15 or 16 years until she went through some change of life or something.
I could always get the concessionstand girls to do the inventory at night and our course a good box office girl can do all at closing,so i had an easy go of it and you were an Assistant it should have been easy for you with a good crew,I put alot more onREGENCY MALL CINEMAS 1.2.3. on CT, plus MASTERS,SOUTHGATE,DANIEL VILLAGE and the MILLER and MODJESKA even though they were GEORGIA THEATRES and we always looked down on them!

When i put in a search for it ,it came up with nothing.I got the article out of the Dallas paper.I will check on the Redwood Drive-in.Thanks.

Y
Robin, you never said,but i guess we need to bring something for the reunion.I can bring some chips and cokes.I ain’t much of a cook.
Yeah, wouldn’t be nice if your group wrote about your theatres.Well,it’s like pulling teeth.
I have a son SEAN, who did follow dad’s footsteps and did work a few years in the business,I guess he will take care of that even though i wasn’t happy the day i saw my"CLOCKWORK ORANGE" one sheet pinned up in his room.

Also,i swear I saw aDRIVE-In in one episode of 5-0. Could have been the KAM DRIVE-In.I mean,I understand you might not know this.
I noticed TWIN-CITY DRIVE-IN in Sandersville is not on CT. Does anyone down that way have anything on that Drive-in.
I know most of the UA product played there.I don’t think it was open when Connery played Bond under the UA banner. I know in fact “A SPY WHO LOVED ME” played there cause John Mackey,Mgr,let me do a newspaper ad on that movie that i have even today.
Thanks I will because there are quite a few Drive-ins in Movies I like.

Robin.why won’t mister Projector reveal his name? He must have stayed too long in the booth.
I also worked a few months at GCC GEORGIA SQUARE CINEMAS 1.2.3.4. in Athens.Quitting the business for in the middle 80’s. the year “THE BIG CHILL” came out.I went out with that flick.
