O.K., First of all Sandtown is located on the North side of the River off May
avenue on the east side of the road. This is where we have been trying to
get you to go every meeting. I remember it well and so do many more of
the guys... That's something I think we can give you some real info...
Rickster for sure... Get him on the line... I'll meet you there tomorrow if you
want just call me... Also, My wife said that we definitely saw The Bible at
the theater on N.W. 23rd st. around McArthur...

Gen64, you are exact about the location. I never saw a sign while cruising
through Sandtown last week Where is it?

Hey, call me if you decide to go! You know my name, look up my number!
I'd like to bother Doug. I'll bring the hotdogs. They're already hot so we
won't have to worry about cooking them. Do you have hospitalization?

The Bible was shown at the Westwood, but not as a first run. The
Continental had the first run showing in 1966. The Westwood was about
1 1/2 blocks west of MacArthur and on the south side of the street. The
building is still there and is currently a church.

Let me know if you're going to Sandtown. I don't have anything planned
until 2pm.

I just looked up "The Bible: In the beginning" in the IMDB. I didn't realize that
Richard Harris played Cain or that Frank Sinatra's wife played Sarah.

Peter O'Toole was the 3 angels! John Huston was Noah! I knew that George
C. Scott was Abraham. I'm going to rent the movie and see if it lines up with
the Bible, and if there are any other stars I remember.

Did Don Knotts play anyone in the movie?

Thanks but I have to be out of town this afternoon. I did go to the area fronting the north side of the river after leaving the last meeting, though. Is that all there is?

It was the Plaza Theater. A couple of doors east was an incredible BBQ
shack. Jim's BBQ? I'm not sure but his sweet potato pie was incredible!

The Plaza was a first class uptown theater. Now it's the "Lyric on the Plaza"
and it's a world class theater for plays and small musicals. I've played "Plaid
Tidings" and "Rocky Horrible", some call it "Rocky Horror" at the Plaza.

It was the Rodeo.
You're right on that one '60:....only thing is we talked extensively with '78 about it.....He's finally getting old. There is still a program going on there every Friday and Saturday Night. I remember going to the Rodeo only a couple of times....

What stands out in my mind about the old elegant theaters were the multiple curtains that were drawn back one at a time. Pretty dramatic.

The theater on W. Britton Road was the Ritz. It's between N. Ollie and
N. Francis.

It was the Plaza and a fine theater it was.

It's been converted into a world class live theater called
"Lyric on the Plaza".
