Did you every have a “BUD” at the MILLER???I would have.
Yes, almost right across the street. They [arts group} are trying to get money from the city for more work on it. At least a new roof was put on several years ago.

Did I read where the MILLER was across the street from the IMPERIAL??
TLSLOEWS.it is Augusta’s largest theatre and pretty much gave us competition during the years i subbed at the Imperial. It stayed open a bit longer,but what they were playing was the worst of Kung-Fu movies.
And sure the little multiplexs in the burbs certainly rushed the closings of both theatres, Today all the little cinemas that opened during the lean years for downtown theatres are all but gone,save one,MASTERS CINEMAS which is our dollar theatre.
April 5 1975 NOW SHOWING DOUG McCLURE in “THE LAND TIME FORGOT” rated PG. Playing day and date with the HILLTOP drive-in.
DEC 31 1972 feb 27 1973 now playing THE GETAWAY. Booking sheet found in MILLER THEATRE.
Ed,I included a story on SHERDIAN SQUARE THEATRE In PITTSBURG.iT IS ON CT.
Georgia Theatres GOT all the UA product..It was nice when you could sit in a theatre all day if one wished.
The Miller probably had a deal to play most United Artists product, Mike.
“Help!” had just opened at Daniel Village the day before I got to Augusts. I had about 24 hours to kill before I checked in at Fort Gordon. Having seen everything else in town, I found my way to “Help!” and sat through it twice consecutively.
Ed,a friend found a picture of the Miller in an antique store in downtown Augusta.“A HARD DAY’S NIGHT” was playing.He made me acopy of the Picture. I wish I had a scanner to put it on CT.
I found quite a few “LET IT BE” one sheets at the Miller when we were paided to clean up the downstairs dressing rooms for the Opera in 1984. I am sure “LET IT BE” played there,and maybe “YELLOW SUBMARINE” since i also found material on that film in the Basement.
The second Beatles film, “Help!,” opened at Daniel Village.
1964 First Run “THE BEATLES” tower over the movie on the MILLER marquee,“A HARD DAY’S NIGHT”,over flowing crowds surround the box office and the side walks of Augusta.
FIRST RUN “ELMER GANTRY” {for adults only,No children under 16 admitted unless accompanied by an adult} My, how times have changed.

BLAST opens at the MILLER starring Billy Dee Williams. Rated R.
June 5 1964 sees FLIPPER"S NEW ADVENTURE playing at the Miller.
June 3 1966 The Miller is playing a very weak “LAST OF THE SECRET AGENTS” 007 has nothing to worry about.
July 6 1964 and the MILLER is showing THE PINK PANTHER.
July 9 1972 the MILLER is showing Clint Eastwood in JOE KIDD one of his weaker efforts. BUCK AND THE PREACHER is playing across the street at the Imperial. Two Westerns,this time the black western is a bit better than Clint.

Here is a write up from the Augusta paper on the MILLER"The Miller, with an eye on the thermometer is bringing SKI PARTY as its next attraction probably in the middle of the week.This one stars a bunchof youngsters,starring Frankie Avalon,Dwayne Hickman and Deborah Walley.“ Summer 1965.JULY.
YELLOW ROLLS ROYCE with Ingrid Bergman and Rex Harrison are playing in the summer of 1965 at the MILLER.
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE plays first run as do all the BONDS at the MILLER.all seats were $1.50. with shows at 1,3,5,7 and 9.
I found a 100 Rifles one sheet with a scene of JIM BROWN and Raquel Welch in a romantic hug! The manager at the time covered it up with a white sheet of paper. I have the poster AND kept the paper covering the questionable scene for that time.
No I never had a Bud at the Miller,but we did have a MILLER Lite one night after getting a ballet out of that theatre after the local ARTS group was using it. It was the only time i ever did a downtown theatre marquee was during the ballet. I should have insisted on doing one at theIMPERIAL,but never thought about it. Everyone hated doing the Marquee. I LOVED IT!
Even when I was an ASSISTANT MGR, No one did the marquee but ME. I know it made a bunch of ushers happy.
Mike did you ever have a “BUD” at the MIller,if youv'e got the time we got the Miller
