Have been told the stage, which is small, will have to be enlarged at the loss of around 500 seats, still will seat more than the IMPERIAL across the street……
Hard for me to Believe some upstart Theatre chain like REGAL would bring down GCC.I have never been impressed with any Regal Theatre.But i am a GCC homeboy.Remember when it was AMC and GCC,the good old days.
Let’s hope it is saved.
Great Tour they give,and they sell some great T-Shirts.
There was no Drive-in here in 1956.

Wish the above picture was clearer.
In 1956 it parked 400 cars with Harry Martin running the Drive-in.
Most likely in one of Salem’s Downtown theatres,Globe,Lyric or Salem Theatres where the homeoffices located.
The Cluster Circuit was located at 119 South Broadway .Salem,Ill.with loren and Stewart Cluster Co-Managers in 1956.
