  • <p>The McMillan Mall theatre relaunches under the name of Joy’s Twin Cinema I & II on July 16, 1976. The automation equipment must have still functioned given the grand re-opening showtimes of 7:39p and 9:22p for “Crazy Jack and the Boy” and 7:16p and 9:24p for “Logan’s Run” on Joy’s original night of operation. If you were going to see “Logan’s Run” at 7:18p, you were going to be disappointed.</p>
  • <p>“…and all we got for our Jerry Lewis Cinema was the architectural diagram.” The franchisees for the West Monroe McMillan Mall Jerry Lewis Cinema were disappointed that the JLC and Network Cinema Circuit folded prior to this August 31, 1973 gala opening and its September 2, 1973 Grand Opening to say nothing of the November 1, 1973 Gala Grand Opening that took place when McMillan Mall launched with Phase 1 of the Mall. But at least the franchisees used the original Jerry Lewis interior architectural sketch to good - as shown here in the August 31, 1973 launch ad.</p>

  • <p>December 22, 1972 ad for the grand opening the Texas Stadium Drive-In launched just five days following the Cowboys' final home game of the season that year. Architect Harvey Jordon’s brilliance with the unique Texas Stadium Drive-in may never have been rewarded with massive customer support but there was no denying the unique challenges of placing a drive-in theater around the Dallas Cowboys' Irving stadium. Collapsable screens, removable speaker posts, low profile concession/projection area to hit three screens. A challenge that Jordon overcame in a theater that struggled massively with three operators to fulfill a ten year lease.</p>
