Love that 1982 picture taken at night.Needs to be in a frame! Alot going on in that picture for the eye to see.And just a clean look with the Box office girl most likely doing her Homework between shows.
I Don’t have a problem with Twin Theatres if they are built from the ground like RMC said twinning a single house ruins a theatre I also think a Marquee is always needed.
I guess the lobby work ad on 2001 was thrown in the trash.I wouldn’t card it a lobby card.Never seen a lobby card that big.Never noticed other theatres promoting 2001 in such a big way.Would have loved to had it.I do have the original one sheet from 1968.
In my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac it is was not listed under Martin theatres so it was not part of that chain.Even though Martin ran two Drive-ins there.
One of the good things about the past was managers that could actually call a booker and book a feature.the Martin Theatre in Thomson,Georgia had a TARZAN SPECTACULAR on Sept. 7, 1961. The Three movies were:
“TARZAN"S GREAT ADVENTURE”
“TARZAN AND THE SHE DEVIL”
and “TARZAN’S HIDDEN JUNGLE” They were played on a saturday when many small town theatres would book such features,while mom shopped.
Thanks Nick.
Nick,I have pictures of Augusta’s Silent movie houses too.Have to go to my home page to read them if you allready haven’t.
Thanks Nick.See Panola Drive-in when it gets on.I just submitted it.Good story about Peter Fonda.
Yes it was closed when I pulled in to look at it after a visit to Stone Mountain.
At least I got a break.Love you Michael,Mean it.
Very nice Drive-in.Thanks for keeping it going Karen.

I am amazed how some of these theatres look nothing like a movie house.Thanks for the picture.

I have it a Query Enterprises,Inc theatre in 1956 homeoffice in Marion ,Va.

Must have been built in the sixties,not in my Motion picture Almanac for 1956,The other two drive-ins there were Martin Theatres,no surprize.
Wonder what theatre in Columbus played “GOODBYE,COLUMBUS”?
Ken and Bob, It was owned by Rodeo Drive-In Theatre Corp,in 1956.And parked 600 cars as Ken reported.
Thanls Nick.Anymore big articles set for CT.
Did you print those movie ads i sent down from the Drive-in in Tampa.Can’t remember the Drive-in was it the Tower Drive-in.
Beautiful theatre. CLINT EASTWOOD was in “TARANTULA”.
I have a one-sheet and soundtrack on an album.
Jugding by the Marquee and I am a pretty good Marquee critic,if that is the first thing one sees going to the movies the twin must be in sorry shape.
Nice marquee.First picture was interesting.
Ray Milland story was good long with others.
The Metro Spirit has on it’s weekly cover a picture of the Lenox Theatre,full size. Sept.8-14 2010.METRO SPIRIT.COM
