GUILD THEATER is a very popular theater with U.N. student, get lots of local TV news over some of the film events they do not play the run of the mill films
GENERAL CINEMA operated this wonderful so beautiful theater, as a young asst. was sent there give the manager a two week vacation, what a nice two weeks I had always remember how I fell in love with this theater it is special, and now I read the community spending much to bring her back, great news she then always be there.
I live in Greenfield for a time after retiring visited this one time beauty, but like GCC and other company the spit it what a same sad place to view a movie, I did move
GENERAL CINEMA ran this beautiful theater I would stop by as a fellow manager for a visit always love the setting face the common at that time really nice downtown theater
ANOTHER POINT AS A CAREER THEATER MAN HATE TO SEE THE PHOTOS OF A ONCE GREAT THEATER LIKE THESE AS WHAT I CALL GHOST THEATERS THEY HAD THERE TIME AND IT WAS SPECIAL
Want to say a word or two about the comment of basic and the chairs, these were the first line of shopping center theaters the chairs at the time were state of the art, push back seats no seat in front of the other, and the screens were not small they were large only after time when a theater was spit into a twin from a single did the screens get mall, G.C.C was the pioneer in shopping center theaters best of it’s day, the problem like all they stuck to it and did not look to the future, I started with them near the begging in Framingham Ma. in 1959 this became my career, and a good one at that.
ONE OF SUPER SAVER CINEMA BEST GROSSING THEATERS, BUILT AS A DOLLAR HOUSE, DID VERY WELL WITH ART FILMS, VERY NICE AREA, IT BE THERE TODAY BUT FOR LANDLORD SOLD THE CENTER ALL TURN DOWN
THE THEATER WAS BUILT AS A DOLLAR HOUSE, BUT GAVE SO MUCH MORE DISCO LOOK, SMOG MACH.DANCING AND FLASHING LIGHTS, GAMES, MUSIC THAT WAS JUST THE LOBBY, THEN ANY FILM ALL DAY EVERY DAY ONE DOLOR THEATERS WITH TWO AISLE OR ONE
I was a D.M. for General Cinema, when visiting my theaters in this city a number of times took in a show here, it was a wonderful theater to see a film in
I was Division MANAGER of this theater for General Cinema this was a 1200 seat single, in it day one of the best, specially on Disney films, so sad no photos showing it beauty back in the day
