I managed this theatre for only 4 months in 1987, theatre #1’s screen was curved, and the curtains opened and closed for every show. Cineplex Odeon also ran the Deerfield at Surfside Beach, for I ran ads for both locations.

The only movie I saw there was “The Living Daylights” in 1987. The #1 auditorium had a curved screen and Dolby Stereo. Stereo was a big deal for Myrtle Beach at the time. It is now a restaurant complex.

By 1977 this was a triplex.

I worked for ABC THEATRES in Augusta,and got to know a manager in that town and he put me and another ABC THEATRE employee up for a couple of days to save on Hotel rates.

This is one of the ABC THEATRES in this town.I am pretty sure there was another and it was lucky enough i think to have played “JAWS” first run.
