Nice! You did experience a lot of great memories back then! I’m sure that the remaining surviving members who previously worked with Arkansas’s United Artists chain still know you today!
50s SNIPES, I worked for United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. (which owned theatres in Conway, Fort Smith, Clarksville, Morrilton, Benton, Malvern, Arkadelphia and Magnolia) from May of 1969 until August of 1977. I worked for that company again in Arkadelphia from 1980 until 1986. At the time the UA Cinema 1 & 2 opened, I was named the manager of the UA 65 Drive-In Theatre. After a time, the manager of the Cinema moved to Fort Smith to take over the UA Minitek Theatre. I moved to the Cinema. When the city manager of the theatres, Clarence Hobbs became district manager over the eight towns in Arkansas and also UA theatres in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I became city manager of the Conway theatres.
Nice!
50sSNIPES, you are correct, February 28, 1973, to be exact. I was present on opening night.
Opened by United Artists in 1973 as the UA Cinema I & II.
The theatre referenced in the article is Cinemark’s Cinema 6 at 291 Highway 65 N. Carmike’s website shows that the Faulkner 6 is still open.
It closed as of 02-21-10 and will be replaced by a new twelve screen multiplex: View link
