It would play quality features then the next week book in the X -rated “MINX”.There was a Colonial Theatre there,wonder if it under went a name change?Also the city had a Drive-in too.
I wish he could tell us the THIRD drive-in there.Thanks Bob.I watched some videos on the two Drive-ins I shot years ago,I guess weeds have covered up the Woodzo unless a Walmart is there now.LOl.
Yes, your right “in Today’s motion picture world we would never Survive”.Seems like we did okay when I was working in one. For one thing in those days going to movies was still an event,it was fading somwwhat.but today it is like walking into a Bus Stop in Anytown,U.S.A.
1967 “BONNIE and CLYDE” wonder if it was first run or hit the drive-in first.I heard in some parts it was booked right into Drive-ins then Caught Fire and it in the indoor Theatres,this from an old Prpjectionist that said it happened to him.
Yes, Great name.one would think there would be more than just a few comments.Once again Carmike Closes a theatre.
Marquees were done by someone who cared,Great pictures,All.
I remember playing “WAIT UNTIL DARK” for a week as a filler back in the late seventies,the trailer seemed as scary as the film.
Great shots ken mc.
Thanks Ken,what is the name of the Outdoor Cinema? I guess Cameo Outdoor Cinema,not a bad idea.
The old carbon-arc Projectionists are dying off better get this done soon.

Thanks Guys.having played “TAXI DRIVER” first run I really don’t want to see it again on the screen or Dvd,but you guys enjoy.

70mm at that on “Octopussy” never think of the Bond films in 70mm.
The two Drive-in in the Late 50’s were; W.74 Drive-in and S.52 Drive-in both parked 200 cars.
We never had any problems with “THE WARRIORS”.Must have been a BIG city thing.Good Story Nick.
Love to have that “Octopussy” Banner.Great shot.
Can it really be that Bad,sounds like a big dumping ground for movies.
I thought i had North Augusta on the Header,oh well it is across the river in South Carolina.
Yep, there is a Church there and That side of town sure needs one.
Most Theatres are.
Nice Picture Ken Roe,Thanks.
Thanks eric.
