SiliconSam, thanks for adding that, I was going to add some of that, but remembered it just after I hit Submit!

I didn’t understand “celebrating its 60th birthday this year” that would be 1950 and “The Screen was first lite sometime in the 1930’s”?????? Course that’s from their website under Mighty Auto??????

ONLY “plan on putting every drive-in from Georgia that is not already on CT on the Cinema Treasures site” is that all?

Here’s what I want to put on CT if they are not listed:

The about 180 foreign CINERAMA Theaters (all United States theaters
are listed except 2 that I only know the name and city, I’m not convinced they really existed).

All theaters that had those Mighty Theater Pipe Organs. WurlitTizer made 2,238 (most, but not all went into theaters) plus other companies such as Barton, Robert-Morton, Kimball etc.! I have the lists

All the theaters on existing and former military bases. I have working lists.

I hope I live a long time!

Michael Coate, I like your idea of deleting the post after the mystery editor has corrected the mistake, it would get rid of a some of the garbage. I try to list the mistake so readers an see what it was.

Mike Rogers, I like your enthusiasm, so many theaters, so little time. I’m not so sure anyone bothers to look at your new theaters when you have so many put up at one time. Right now I have 36 theaters of yours that I have “checked” out and are ready to make comments on, but I only post two or three a day so as not to bore anyone. Two of the theaters I checked out are already listed on CT, so now they are now listed twice, so that sorta makes things messy! IMHO, you might just slow down just a bit, quality over quanity. What do you think?

How could you misspell “THE WATERMELON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”?

I found the drive-in listed as being on Tremont Road?

Open 1960-1980?

I know it was open in 1967.

Owner 1975-1980 Martin Theaters of Georgia, Inc. in Columbus, Ga.?
