Really amazed that there was a black movie theatre in part of East Tenn.Just never thought they had that kind of population there,maybe they were working on the Bomb plant?
Yes,Bob I have no mention of the BIRCHFIELD Drive-in in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac,so bet it was closed way before 1963.Thanks for finding the BIRCHFIELD.
Russell, go to my Home site on Ct MikeRogers,scroll down,and i mean scroll down,it is almost at the end of the thousands of theatres i have posted on,but you can find it “WANTED-C.1970'sGeneral Cinema "coming attractions” or “features”.You will enjoy all the GCC comments and hopefuly be able to get a copy there.I should have dry cleaned my coat more.I never heard Zack speak of Al,and he told so many stories about Barry and you.
I have pictures.hopefully i can get Nick to get them on one day,In Fact, Nick took the Pictures.It parked 280 cars and was owned in 1956 by Dr.Funderburke.He also owned the North Walterboro Drive-in.
Yes, and one time we hired Richmond County Sheriff’s Dept.and they NEVER did walk into Cinema one,instead they sucked down Lotta Lemon.Those two Security Guards at the Mall,Alan and Clint were a trip.Dang lucky the Mall never got sued.I saw Alan Thrown,and I mean Throw a drunk out of the mall by our Box office.I ain’t sure if the guy came to a movie or was just in the Mall.I still,have my GCC polyester coat stink and all; since you and Zack always complained of the smell.Also the Tie. I never got the neat tie you and Zack would later get.Somewhere on here under GCC you can download the coming attraction tag with the snare drum beat and all.It was neat hearing and seeing it.If we could only get Barry on.Dave Poland’s Sister is on here a lot i think she goes by" Patricia in N.C.“ small world.Stan Malone in Atlanta has written a lot about Atlanta Theatres I wonder if you ever met him.
And you let Zack think I did that underwear topic on the Phone.It was sorta fun getting Chewed out, After he blessed you out he looked at me and said"And quit calling Rochelle,Richocet",Heck, I still call her that more than her real name.LOl.
I remember that.I have a picture of THAT line.I have in Friend in Tampa that prints my pictures for CT.I hope he is able to get it on soon.I have begged Barry to let me Borrow his scrap book on Regency,but to no avail.I just wanted to make copies.I have a picture of Laura,Mike G, and a Black doorman that we had.real nice guy,but I can’t remember his name.I asked Rochelle and she couldn’t.I thought it might have been Clarence? But i don’t know.When Nick puts the picture on I wanted to be able to put his name with the other three.Glad you got back on CT lets get Regency,both of them equal posts like Columbia Square,Imperial and National Hills!I wish some folks from Athens would find CT,Zack had some great people working there too. Like Karen,Boy,like Karen.
