I worked at this theater as a “doorman” from 1972 to 1976. It was a great 599 seat theater. The busiest time I remember was in August of 1973 when “American Graffiti” was released. There were patrons wrapped around the building to get in! I personally remember seeing this film over 300 times! I remember every line, and every amazing song from the film! It was part of the George M. Schwartz theater chain that included theaters in Dover, Wilmington (Branmar Plaza), and southern Delaware (The Sun, Surf, and Sand) near the beach.
I saw “Dr. No” at the Timonium Drive-In in 1962! We lived in Parkville. I was one of four children. My parents had a Ford “Colony Park” station wagon with the fake wood on the sides. It was a double-feature. There was a kids feature first that I don’t remember. My younger brothers and sister fell asleep in the back of the wagon, and then, “Dr. No” came on. To say I fell in love with movies that night was an understatement! I sat in the back seat, looking up at the screen, between my parents and I loved every moment of that film! I was six and really sucked in! What a great Drive-In! I loved the intros and filmed announcements “Three Minutes to Show Time!”. What a great way to be introduced to film!
