It was owned by Durwood Theatres .they owned several downtown Theatres in St.Joseph.Mo.Admission in the fifties was 50 cents for adults.“WALK THE PROUD LINE"and"SECOND CHANCE” played back-to-back.
The Regal was playing Brigitte Bardot in the Adult movie “LOVE IS MY PROFESSION” Adults 75 cents,Children 35 cents.Can’t believe anyone would take a child to that,even though by our STANDARDS today it was probably not much of an Adult film.
I love movies,spent Eight years in the Theatre Business with three different chains.I don’t care what any price is anymore,$19.00 is entirely too much ,I think six or seven dollars should be top price be it New York City or some small town in the South.Case Closed!
I am sorry about the duplicate story.wish there was a law from letting theatres change names so often.
Thanks.
