Mike Rogers commented about Van Buren Drive-In on Dec 20, 2010 at 4:27 pm

Jan.8 1951 “SEVEN SINNERS” and “SUTTER’S GOLD”.Ads mention “in car speakers”.In those days I thought that all there was?Seems really dumb even to put that in an ad.

Mike Rogers commented about Capitol Theatre on Dec 20, 2010 at 4:23 pm

It was a WARNER THEATRE Still in the Fifties. Showing Jan.8 1951 was “LAST OUTPOST”.

Mike Rogers commented about Regal Augusta Village Cinema 12 on Dec 20, 2010 at 3:15 pm

It really wasn’t a bad theatre.I am just old school and hate things over 3 or 4 screens,but that is a “Me” problem.Thanks for the pictures.It is still sitting there like Regency,Except GCC left EVERYTHING in the 8-Plex.

Glad it was able to stay two screens,Rare.

Mike Rogers commented about Aikahi Twin on Dec 20, 2010 at 3:10 pm

Getting back to Drive-ins I swear I saw an old Drive-in Theatre in an old episode of 5-0.Never had anyone to say they spotted it too.It is like They drove by it in the show chasing a crook..

Great looking Marquee.Good stories.I can relate to the “SUPERFLY” flicks.

Maybe i misunderstood him,he could see Diamond Head from his house.Out of respect to JACK LORD I will not watch the new 5-0 TV show.

Mike Rogers commented about Jericho Drive-In on Dec 18, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Drive-in Theatre owners should keep the Drive-in up.Most of the ones I have visited have been pretty dang clean.I think sometimes the Bulb could be replaced.

THANKS SCOTT. Looks like a mix of GCC and REGAL .

The Albany Herald Jan 1 1975 has some great ads of those theatres there,pull it up and maybe that can help.

Have a great CHRISTMAS along with all the other THEATRE guys I chat with.

Mike Rogers commented about Melrose Theatre on Dec 18, 2010 at 5:43 pm

I happen to be off on Monday,Tisloews.just my day off.I heard on Monday night Football. I thought we should at least book a couple of BEATLES movies on Late Shows,But no my City Manager a Big ELVIS fan nixed that.I think he said they were out of release,but i said “To hell with it” no one really cared anymore.Most of Theatre Buddies had moved which i would doing soon.In fact it pissed me so much that might have been one of the reason’s Mr.Tinney fired me.Along with missing an Employees meeting!Same one I had heard since 1974.Imperial showed very few DISNEY movies once NATIONAL HILLS and DANIEL VILLAGE opened.

It is a good code.But Parents should know what the kids are watching. I wrote a lot more but decided to delete my feelings on the Motion Picture Code.
