I remember Robert.Geez was I the only guy Scromping with the Concession and BO girls. I thought all of you were doing it.But you were always the Gentleman until you asked girls over the phone the COLOR of their panties!!!!!!Can’t make it up,Folks.Did you ever tell Mira that story?
Great story,I didn’t realize Zack was there during “Star Trek” movie.Saw the ad in the Augusta Archives it was HUGE.He told me later Regency had some of the Highest grosses on “STAR TREK” compared to other GCC .I have a story SOMEWHERE on National Hills Theatre me doing the Marquee on Washington Road . when I moved the adjustable ladder the dang thing came apart and I was Stuck on the Road Marquee until someone wondered where Mike was. Can’t make this stuff up.If you really get involved in CT you will be telling stories to other GCC employees and Management like I have and read.This Site is doggone habit forming. One GCC manager up North told me his DM called and told him in a snow storm with high winds to go up on the theatre roof and sweep snow off the building. The guy told me he called his DM and told him he wasn’t doing such a dangerous job. The DM replied" I didn’t mean you,send a couple of Ushers up on the roof".That is the great stories I find under GCC Chains.. I don’t think he sent the guys up on the roof. John Perra was the Manager at PIZZA HUT.Boy, did we drink.In fact, I remember one night after showing “ROCKY HORROR” twice one Midnight,when we got out at four in the morning Zack had a case of Buds waiting for us,even Dray downed one. Stayed in the parking lot where we parked OUR cars and,well It was the Theatre business. I think of Craig a lot.Wish he would have taken better care of himself. When I hear Rush laugh on the Radio it sorta reminds me of his chuckle.Barry even agreed about the two laughs.What was so cool about Al,and what happened to him.You and Barry were pretty cool too.
USA TODAY “GREEN HORNET, a solid start for the superhero movies that will pack the slate for 2011” Total weekend Gross was $34 million.Film analysts' are pleased with the money,expecting to hit over $40 million with MLK holiday.Guess I was Wrong again,guys.
Thanks Andy.i enjoy your finds and pictures.Our friend Nick in Tampa I bet has Hundreds of pictures of Flordia Drive-ins.I have stacks of them.hope one day he can put a lot of them on.
I956 it was a large Drive-in,not the largest Chuck,But pretty good size in 1956.
I have it owned in 1956 by Donald Gilson.
There was a Tower Drive-in in Ada in 1956.Name change?
My 1956 motion Picture Almanac has it parking 500 cars and was owned at that time by East Lake Drive-In Theatres.
Great looking theatre.
in 1956 it held 400 cars and was owned by Associated Prudential.
It was owned by Hempstead Theatre Op. Corp. in 1956.
Love the 1983 marquee shot,Great.great actor.
I sure hope it didn’t change names like so many Drive-ins I have put on CT.
Thanks Alonzo for putting the pictures on.A pity we couldn’t save it.It equaled anything on Broad Street.
