May 30, 1974 – Ronny Howard, Richard Dreyfuss and Cindy Williams in George Lucas' “American Graffiti”, in it’s 8th month, is the last feature at the Towne Cinema in Calgary, Alberta before the theatre is demolished. Hector Ross of the Towne Cinema: “Some real bomb, that every big theatre chain turned down”. “I didn’t like it, but I knew it was going to do business”. “Graffiti? Hell no. I didn’t like it. I’m 50! What do I need with that stuff?”
