Playing on Friday night Nov.10 {no year given} LASH LaRue in “GHOST TOWN RENEGADES” Admission at the BIJOU was 15 and 25 cents. They were starting a new serial. and always “FRESH POPCORN”
June 23 1972 HENDERSONVILLE OUTDOOR CINEMA is playing HORROR beyond Belief! “THE BODY SHOP” second Feature NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and Third feature on Friday and Saturday is “WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HELEN?” “THE BODY SHOP” was presented in 4 DIMENSION for extreme Realism. On Saturday night they played the “BODY SHOP” at the CAROLINA 1 so folks in Hendersonville could MEET THE STARS!!! It certainly wasn’t Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee.
These kinds of ads are pricless and our papers use to be filled with them.
April 7 1955 NOW SHOWING “HIT THE DECK” a Song-Splashed Musical with Jane Powell, Tony Martin,Debbie Reynolds,and Ann Miller. played Sunday, Monday,and Tueday,
I assume Jim is right on with his comment about the CAROLINA being a first run House and makes no sense to close a theatre playing Grade A product being Westerns or the latest Jerry Lewis Comedy.
Robin,this would be agreat time to get some of the gang from the Imperial to attend. I will call around and hope it is an open date and folks haven’t started vacations.
Beautiful pictures,Just got in from working BEAUTY and the BEAST what a killer show. Almost a five hour out.I mean Killer show,nothing went right Backstage,Charlie knows. Catch you later nick,this old stagehand is beat to the DAWG BONE.
Ed Blank….Bill Barkley said “CAT BALLOU” and"SHIP OF FOOLS" played as a double Feature at the IMPERIAL in 1966. He took his wife and they saw both.It was before became a Saturday and Sunday Relief Operator.What a memory.
Nick, I will give you a little help.
EAST BUFFALO Drive-in Parked 389 cars and was owned by Dale Elleman. i have a 40th Street Drive in ,but no 28th Street. In my 1956 Almanac. Nothing on Bonita Drive-in in the Almanac.
For the record there was a BLUE BIRD THEATRE CHAIN in the Carolinas.My cousin, Ray Rogers managed one, THE CAROLINA 1 and 2{penthouse}. In Hendersonville.N.C.
I saw “LEGAL EAGLES” there after it reopened as a triple. I had tears in my eyes.And it wasn’t Robert Redford that brought them on. A great Theatre ruined for a fast buck.“LEGAL EAGLES” was on the original Large screen,but it wasn’t the same.

Boy, Nick what a let down. “2010” I never should watched. It did play at NATIONAL HILLS on the same screen of 2001.But I don’t think it was in 70mm.
I saw “LEGAL EAGLES” there after it reopened as a triple. I had tears in my eyes.And it wasn’t Robert Redford that brought them on. A great Theatre ruined for a fast buck.“LEGAL EAGLES” was on the original Large screen,but it wasn’t the same.
I had read a remake was set.Plez tell me I heard wrong!!!!
We played “JASON and the Argonaunts” at Columbia 1 and 2.Re-release of course. Never got any of the rest.
Glad you are back. See i am not watching 2001.
