Some reason it did not make the 1956 printing of the 1956 motion Picture Almanac.

According to my 1956 motion picture Almanac everything Chuck mentioned above was correct in 1956.

Sept 24 1967 and the Skyway has James Caan in “REDLINE 7000” and David Janssen in"WARNING SHOT" starting that Wednesday was “THE WAR WAGON” and “FLUFFY”. The Skyway Drive in was one mile North of Fountain City,Tn.

Skyway drive-in I have in my 1956 Motion picture Almanac parks 175 cars.Which is WAY off the 500 mentioned above. It was owned by W.J.Hatfield. Playing Sept. 18 1967 was Roddy McDowell and Susanne Pleshette in “THE ADVENTURE OF BULLWHIP GRIFFIN” one show only at 8:15.Most all the other Knoxville area drive-ins were running Two movies.

Mike Rogers commented about Newport Cinema 4 on Jan 14, 2011 at 11:30 am

Hopefully,someone will step up.Newport is in the Heart of Tourist Country,No reason a 4 plex can’t make it there.Management problems ?

Mike Rogers commented about Museum of the Moving Image reopens on Jan 14, 2011 at 11:28 am

Enjoy.wish I could be there.

Mike Rogers commented about Cinema 4 in Newport shuttered on Jan 13, 2011 at 7:16 pm

What a loss.Newport is a nice size town to not have a theatre having lost three Drive-ins.I guees folks don’t mind the drive to Morristown or Knoxville.I find it hard to believe the overhead was getting more expensive.It could go second run.I have seen the Ticket admissions to theatres in that size of town in that region and they were like 1975 prices at several first run theatres in that region dealing with small towns,Not Knoxville.What a kick in the head!

Mike Rogers commented about Midland Theatre on Jan 13, 2011 at 6:19 pm

Boy,Chuck I was so afraid of that.It most likely was.I assumed Wrong again.why can’t newspaper editors catch captions such as what I saw and have “such and such is thanking voters on the old Midland Theatre in such and such city”.It had to be somewhere in the Winnsboro area.
