* ?-? - . . - Along ; m tho Way >y i imlly Klllatta ' Fads come and go in ? fashion and industry. In 1946 i when movies were popular J entertainment, some 'practical businessmen came ? -lip with a new version of the t movie theatre. THE DUPLIN TIMES ? ^carried ads for all the local *. theatres, but these were the ? ordinary movie houses ? ? Tour walls and a permanent foundation. THE TIMES also I carried ads for the new type ?-of theatre, tents with a seven "by nine foot screen. ? Featured in a TIMES ? -article September 20, 1946, was the Dixieland Tent '.."Theatre which onened in ?Kenansville. The tent, which .^seated approximately 2S0 ' Ipeople, was pitched adjacent 'to the courthouse square at , -the rear of what was then f^Bob Dail's store. The owner. Larry Moore, . -boasted that the tent was water- and fireproof, and when asked about the winter, ;he assured his customers the ?inside would be heated. As all movie theatres were in ."1946, there were two sec -tions, one for the white .?people and another was for ? I the black people. i nc aucnuauic was uui* -standing in Kenansville, I Moore proclaimed, and he "was so pleased he began to -consider the possibility of ? staying permanently in town. * Attendance was often great "enough to demand two - showings nightly. Admission 1 was 30 cents for adults and 14 cents for children. - Checking the theatre ads in editions of the 1946 DUPLIN TIMES following the tent theatre story, a second portable theatre could be found. The second one was in Pink Hill, and it went by the name of the Playhouse Tent Theatre. A careful reading of the movies . listed went something like this. Along the Navajo Trail, starring Roy Rogers; The Outlaw, a Howard Hughes production starring Jane ? Russell; Partners in Time, starring the comedy team of Lum and Abner; and Dakota, ' starring John Wayne. Ads for the Playhouse Theatre continued well into ; the winter, long after ads for /the KenansvilleDixieland Theatre had stopped appear - ing. And, eventually, the cold weather would close the Pink Hill theatre. From tech nological advances, men in the theatre business were able to move out of their tents into the open air. Open air theatres, or the drive-in theatres, became popular in ^the following years. ; However, the drive-in >- theatres have come and gone ' in Duplin County, with only ; one reamining in Beulaville. in warsaw apartments " have been built on the site " of an old drive-in theatre; in ; Wallace a car dealership ? occupies another drive-in ; theatre location. * And, the old movie houses - stand vacant in many of Duplin towns. Kenansville's ' theatre is boarded up. War - saw, which led the county in - establishing a movie house, I no longer has either a drive-in or walk-in theatre. Warsaw also led the county T in movie houses installing a * sound system, and the show ' ing of talking pictures. But, Kenansville leads the J county in live theatre. I County citizens joined in an ? effort to produce a historical I theatre production about * Duplin in 1949. The produc ; tion was entitled The Duplin ? Story, and the drama was so ' successful it was portrayed J the following year and ulti mately led to the 1976 production of THE LIBERTY ; CART. Over the past five years, THE LIBERTY CART has received state-wide attendance, and has the I potential to become the state's second largest out door drama ? ranking second to the Lost Colony. , Alpha Delta Kappa Meets In Wallace Twenty-seven members attended the first fall meet ing of Beta Eta Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa sororitv at the Thelma Dingus Bryant Library in Wallace on September. 11 Hostess were Bettie B.
