kencmcintyre commented about Park Theatre on Oct 6, 2008 at 6:05 pm

President of Rockwood Amusements in 1963 was W.R. Holder. The Park was part of the circuit, as it still was in 1970. Rockwood Amusements was headquartered in Nashville. The circuit operated theaters in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.

Here is a June 1948 blurb from Time. We only have one theater in Shelby that would have been around in 1948, other than the drive-in, so it goes here by process of elimination.

In a Shelby, N.C. movie theater, Veteran Arbuth Bumgarner, 26, who was bombed while a patient in a Normandy hospital, suddenly went berserk, stabbed his wife and then himself with his pocketknife. The movie “drove him nuts,” he explained. It showed the bombing of a Normandy hospital.

kencmcintyre commented about Orpheum Theatre on Oct 6, 2008 at 10:37 am

No, it was actually just decorative. There are ads for Grauman’s Chinese, El Capitan and others. The theme of the mall is movies, Oscar night and so on.

kencmcintyre commented about Orpheum Theatre on Oct 6, 2008 at 9:47 am

I think all the ads were for Los Angeles theaters, so it is probably for the Palace/Orpheum.

kencmcintyre commented about TCL Chinese Theatre on Oct 5, 2008 at 10:34 pm

I waded through the tourists and the lame celebrity impersonators today to take these photos. One tourist was overheard complaining that “I didn’t see one famous person here today”. I didn’t want to tell him that celebrities don’t generally spend their Sunday afternoons hanging out at the Chinese.

How can a vegan restaurant get a B? Don’t the rats get frustrated and leave when there’s nothing to eat?
