I am so glad you are doing this on These Drive-ins.I just wish when I do submit a Theatre that newspaper ad had a street address,so many especially in small towns have no address and I know it does make it hard,I try to go back in the papers and search for an address often with no luck.
87 years deserves a comment.Lakewood hung around a lot longer than others that lasted less than a few years.Think of All the Movies,The stories from Employees.Bye. Thanks Cwalczak.
thanks for the pictures,guys.July 20,1950 has A Double Feature,“TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE GIRL” and “SEALED CARGO”.During those years Double Features were showned almost every day.
The state theatre was always advertised as “A first Run Theatre'.July 20 1950,"GUY WHO CAME BACK”. is playing. Irv,I saved a piece of screen from my old theatre in town,National Hills Theatre.
During the Fifties it was called the Olympic Theatre,later to be changed to the NEW OLYMPIC THEATRE.Often they would give out free candy and Balloons to kids under 12.hopefully, they gave the Balloons out AFTER the movie.Like most small towns you could count on a Double feature.Dec.5 1957 has “QUANTEZ”,“FIRE DOWN BELOW”, with"BLACK KNIGHT".“BAILOUT AT 43,000 FEET”,“3:10 to YUMA” and “GUN GLORY” playing the following week. In the Sixties THE NEW OLYMPIC THEATRE was showing this Double feature,“SIGN OF THE GLADIATORS” and “SPOILERS OF THE FOREST”.Saturday matinee started at one in the Afternoon.

No, It is Columbia Square Cinemas in Augusta,Ga. on one of the posts is a picture of folks from a church protesting the movie,AP picked up the picture and somehow Warner Brothers contacted us about the “Oh,God” protest. It was Columbia 1 and 2 Theatres in those days. sorry for the mix-up.
I sent Nick pictures,Hope he gets them on.
21 seat house,why?
You are right,who is going to tell it,Scott.
