Someone should remember this Ralph Kneebone the manager had a promotion on a movie! Something theatre managers today have no idea about.Mr.Kneebone had personal appearance of the Frankenstein monster to promote “FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER” he wanted to boost ticket sales at midnight. Thanks Mr. Kneebone.Glad i could get you on CT. Feb. 10 1969.

The sequel to “THE PINK PANTHER”, “A SHOT IN THE DARK” opens for a one week run .This almost 10 year old movie hardly fills a 780 seat theatre.AT the time I must admit i did not know it was the sequel to “THE PINK PANTHER” We seem to get more older films than the other chains in Augusta. 1974.

Vito, There was a theatre in Tampa,Fla, HILLSBORO i think,it is on CT and a friend there,Nick, told me they broke away for intermissions even on the 81 minute movie “LET IT BE” i told Nick never heard of such a thing.It was a ABC FLORDIA STATE THEATRE not some mom and pop opearation. I will have to tell him to come over this theatre and read about the intermissions a theatre chain added.
