It would be a long shot,but if the Lafayette local paper had morgue they might be able to locate the times that Flatt&Scruggs played at the CHEROKEE.At least you could get the ad printed in that day’s issue.But most likely,the paper was a weekly. Still I am sure they ran movie ads.

The old carbon arcs with the 20 minute reels are in the booth. However,one projector was moved from its position.I think they are still in the booth.
Tim Campbell,the stage manager who like to show a film series.They have a nice Video set up,that when Tim ran a movie for me this old theatre dog was impressed since i am pro 35mm film,not discs,but it looked good. HE said LETTERBOX movies cause problems,because people think the movie is cut. I suggested using a masking like we did at GCC when we showed scope.

That HAVCO INTERNATIONAL PICTURES recently screened “THE BOOTLEGGERS” at the PLAZA. It was showned to a private audience mainly of bookers. And a film like “THE BOOTLEGGERS” should do great in that area. {Boxoffice March 4 1974}
