Boyd theatre in Bethlehem.Pa. It was about handing out passes when only one or two people show for a movie on the last show.For the life of me I don’t ever remember a Manager or Company policy that said hand out rain checks when only one or two show up. I worked a Single screen at National Hills and the Imperial.Multi-plexes,something you know might be different in some way.

I know he will be glad and so will all the CT members.I hated to part with them.

Russell, when you get a chance check out BOYD THEATRE in Philly. I got into a discussion and I would like your imput.I know how we ran things at Regency and GCC with Zack, Did I miss something after eight years in the Business?

Mike Rogers commented about Boyd Theatre on Apr 20, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Times change, At GCC usually when I closed on the WEEKDAYS iT was just the projectionist and Me .And i was on Salary.It was never told to me to ever do such a thing,nor did it enter my mind.Oh sure.there were times when I wished the movie goer had stayed home,but isn’t that the reason WE were There for Escape into the make believe world.Maybe the customer had a tough day at work. It just never entered my mind,Maybe Tisloews will spot this we came up at the same time.

Mike Rogers commented about Sunset Drive-In on Apr 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm

Chuck, I was just wondering if you have all this info,do you ever submit a theatre or Drive-in or just don’t have the time and let other members like me put them on and you and a few others “flesh them out” ? Great pictures.

when I explore old theatres usually an exit door can be found that will open.
