Mike, many thanks for the rescued item related to the Dreamland, Rialto, Imperial, Modjeska & Miller, all theatres owned and operated by Augusta Amusements. How sad a day to see the “Ticket Sales Report” wind up in some dumpster. You’re a theatre hero for saving this item and many others. Your find has given us an idea for a Classic Movie Night. Will keep you updated.
