Bill Ramaland, a former theatre operator of a Corpus Christi area town of Alice (who formerly operated one out of 5 theaters (2 theaters and 3 drive-ins)) was the operator of the theater by manager Jack Humphries, manger of the Mission Chamber of Commerce who broke the ground on April 17, 1949.
The theater made its formal opening on June 7, 1949 with a barbecue cookout announced by R. J. Ramsland and H. C. Gunder. It would later open its gates to the public the next day on June 8, 1949 with Errol Flynn in “Adventures Of Don Juan”.
The Greenwood Drive-In originally set to open on April 22, 1948 but was cancelled due to rain so they have to reschedule to May 2, 1948 with a double feature: “Apache Rose” and “Adventure Island”, along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel.
During its early days of operation, there are so many incidents such as a two-car collision at the Greenwood Drive-In causing 2 injuries. One of the autos is a 1940 Chevrolet coach owned by an Indianapolis citizen, with the other car being a 1947 Hudson Hornet on June 3, 1949. A 22-year-old who is riding in the Chevrolet suffered a wrenched and possibly fractured right shoulder. 2 16-year-olds were on route to Greencastle for a weekend visit with relatives, but one suffered a cut in the center of the forehead.
It’s not just that, but there’s once a robbery caused by 3 boys, they were kids with the ages of 13, 15, and 16, stealing 80 packages of cigarettes, and an equally large quantity of chewing gum during the morning hours of August 9, 1950. They were caught later in a cornfield south of Whiteland near the Pennsylvania Railroad line where a railroad crossing sits in, and was held at Marion County courthouse and jail.
The Tower Theatre opened with Deanna Durbin in “It’s A Date”, along with a sidewalk broadcast over KFYO-AM 790 (now 790 AM and 95.1 FM), a broadcast from stage of Bernie Howell at the Hammond, an introduction of guests of honor on the main stage, an unnamed short subject and a feature program.
The Temple Theatre’s name lasted until October 4, 1932. Prior to that, many people came up a really good name for a new motion picture theatre for the city of Edinburgh in a contest. The winner’s name is the “Playhouse Theatre”, which was named right after Allen Dale Martin and Ms. Mary Howell who won a split on the first prize of $5 that were both given the game “Playhouse” during the first week of October 1932. The second prize went on E. C. Allison who presented the name “Tri-County” and 9 other people were all in third that were given the name “Walnut”. The fourth prize was given to 4 people who chose the name “Community”, and the others such as H. A. Allison (“Prototone”), Mrs. Charles A. Miller (“Relart”), Mrs. Ernest Cookston (“Park View”), George E. Pearce (“Avalon”), Ms. Mary Smith (“Home”), Mrs. J. A. Thompson (“Eden Park”), A. B. Colvin (“Starland”), and 3 other people (“Masonic”).

After the blaze caught the Indiana Theatre that September of 1939, the theater was rebuilt and the theater reopened on March 26, 1940 with “Broadway Melody Of 1940”.
“Funny Little Bunnies” is a Silly Symphony short, not a Warner Brothers short. As of 1934, Warner Brothers was stuck with Buddy as their Looney Tunes star, with Merrie Melodies just being a major success on musical tunes entitled the title of the cartoon that also gives laughs on demonstrates between animals, humans, and objects. Although, you are very close for the plot. But Merrie Melodies did get a similar idea on “bunnies” twice less than a year later, with one being "Country Boy" and the other being “My Green Fedora” which were released in 1935.
The theater closed between by or during the 1990s. The screen itself sat abandoned for many years, and started to fall apart throughout. The pathway was demolished around that time. The earliest clear shot I can take is a 1994 shot.
The Athens Theatre’s site before construction is formerly a hotel known as the old “Force Hotel”. Erection began on June 5, 1925 and the ground broke later that September. The Athens Theatre opened in early 1926.
I first checked the newspapers website and looked at the papers in Tacoma, It said that their showings lasted until the pandemic. Afterwards, I checked Google and as on what it was, it’s still opened. Oops, my mistake!
