Also Showing at the Plaza “POLTERGEIST”, “HANK PANKY”,“PENITENTIARY” “MOUNTAIN FAMILY ROBINSON”, “NOSFERATU”[one week only],“CUBA” and “THE VISITOR”. While all the other theatre chains in town had matinees every day the IRVIN-FULLER Theatres for some strange reason never did.
I slipped in a Exit door of the REGENCY EXCHANGE in Augusta, and both theatres being GCC the concessionstand in both theatres are a perfect match.Thanks for the photos chuck 1231.I took a bunch of pictures of the Exchange,need to get Nick Dimaggio to get them on.
It is listed as COLUMBIA SQUARE CINEMAS in Augusta,Ga. It will always be Columbia 1 and 2 to me because it was a nice large Twin theatre before UA and Georgia Theatres turned it into a lousy small screen quad.
man, I love that Story thank goodness Georgia only gets a rare dusting of snow.I can’t believe someone read those readings.I got a couple of guys I worked with a GCC Russell Smeak{he’s a member on CT and Barry Morrison who said he was logging on to CT .but hasn’t both Managers i will tell your story if Russell hasn’t read it.“JUST SEND THE USHERS UP THERE!” outta make T-Shirts.
Thanks Bob.Tlsloews in Nashville mentioned one time he thought they moved their home office to Nashville.I know CARMIKE is out of Columbus,I often wondered if Martin became CARMIKE.Georgia,especially small towns seem to have a Martin owned Theatre.
IN TODAY’S Augusta Chroncile,June 19 2010 there is artice about the work being done on the Georgia theatre in Athens.I am sure you can read it on line.wwwaugustachroncile.com
Simon the only way that happened if someone did like i did when NATIONAL HILLS was going dark,was slip in and load my pick-up with items I wanted.One time a cop drove by didn’t even ask what i was doing.Did the same thing at Columbia Square Cinemas or Columbia 1 and 2 theatres as i knew it.
Pretty good ad,but haven’t seen anyone top the Imperial.I am being objective,too.Bill,I can remember as a kid on Friday the first thing before the comics or sports was the movie ads.we didn’t have all the theatres you guys had,but i enjoyed usually a full page of movie ads. Heck, I would even cut them out.
Stan and all of you guys I could read your stories and relate so much.“THE FEEL ON YOUR FINGERS FROM CARRYING FILM CANS.” Pure theatre employee stories.Somehow the union didn’t want no part of carrying them to the booth!
mikeoaklandpark,haven’t been to Asheville in awhile.hopefully some folks up there can answer that.
Well,we are talking THEATRE RATS!
Talk about a hidden cinema.maybe that is the best kind to enjoy a movie in.
Thanks Ken.Beautiful movie theatre.
Great Pictures,Chuck 1231.
Thanks Dennis,great ad.
Raymond,great history of the Tryon Hills.Enjoyed reading it.
“MIDWAY” was in SENSAROUND as was “BATTLESTAR GALATICA”.But they must have played at a different theatre,Joey.

Cutting hours,doesn’t sound good,Four Seasons Cinemas in Herdersonville,N.C. started this and today it is closed and striped clean.
Wayne thanks for a great Story it is always a pity to see no comments on a Theatre THE PARAMOUNT desrves one.
It is amazing how the front looks a bit like Columbia 1 and 2 especially the glass,Box office and one-sheet frames.
