eight theaters is 7,190.
Mr. Stellings and Mr. Gossett will

nent downtown offices at an early
date. All of the indoor theaters are
first-run houses and. they plan to

eration.
Plan No Change
There are from 80 to 100 persons
employed in the theaters and the
new owners plan no change in
personnel. John A. Drinkhouse is
manager of the Strand here.
All of the leases they are taking
over are for long terms and all of
the theaters are well equipped and
in excellent buildings, they said.
All have facilities for 3-D projec
tion and wide screens will be in
stalled in the near future. The
Kinston theater, they said, is con
sidered the nccest theater in the
Carolinas, while the two drive-ins
are only about a year old and are
well equipped.
Mr. Stellings has been in the
heater business for a number of
?ears. Mr. Gossett was in the tex
ile mill business with his father,
lie late B. B. Gossett, until the
iule of the Gossett Mills to Tex
