Henry Thomas was one of the first union Projectionists to run the booth.He would later move to the Performing Arts Center at Augusta College and run that complex. At one time he thought about buying the Thomson theatre in Thomson,Ga. But ill health stopped that dream.
Projectionists of record. Chuck Dray a staple in Augusta theatres moved from the Regency Triple in the Mall. To work the EXCHANGE. Other UNION projectionists weren H.V. HANSON and BILLY BARKLEY who had run movies like Dray in several Augusta theatres. They used Tom Dray for relief and a non union man to help out. BY that time the Union was seeing the writing on the wall.
When it was getting ready to open I actually went by an got an application for a management spot. The lady there gave me the tour and explained it was a manager/operator theatre. “you mean we have to worry about the booth and the floor?” She said Yep, that is the way REGAL operates.
I pity these managers today. Say what you will about UNION projectionists,they made my life alot easier back in the 70’s and early 80’s at GCC. Needless to say, I threw the application in the trash later.
