drdumont commented about Campus Theater on Dec 6, 2009 at 9:32 pm

I worked for Bill Schulman while I was in school, his family owned all the theaters in College Station and Bryan, the Campus and Circle Drive In (CS) and the Palace, Queen, Dixie, and the Skyway Drive In (Bryan). The Queen and Dixie had been long closed.

Brinkert projectors, Peerless Magnarc arc lamps, and motor generators to generate the DC for the lamps.

One thing I remember about the Campus was that at one time the Air Cond was run by a gasoline engine. It was a little scary to go down there to start the system, dark, dank, and lots of exposed moving things. Brrrr…
