SDT Circuit Unveils Maple Theatres Trio DETROIT—On a site selected five years ago on the basis of its growth potential and its strategic location for neighborhood services, the Maple theatres 1-2-3 bowed March 23 as the newest addition to Suburban Detroit Theatres, prominent circuit of motion picture theatres. Located adjacent to the Bloomfield Shopping Plaza, on West Maple Road at its intersection with Telegraph Road, the Maple is a trio of intimate auditoriums planned to accommodate a variety of major firstrun film attractions as a complete movie entertainment service for the many residential communities within a few miles of the site. The theatre is described by its builders as "contemporary," designed to convey a warm and restful atmosphere for the exhibition of motion pictures with the latest sound and projection equipment available. It incorporates an extensive use of brick complemented by bright colors which form the graphic theme of the theatre, each of the three auditoriums being color-keyed through graphics and directional lighting. The seating, spaced at optimum distance between rows, is by American Seating Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich. For patrons' convenience, there are illuminated parking areas provided on two sides of the theatre with access from West Maple Road. The entry to the theatre is protected from the weather by a covered walkway which joins the triplex to a branch office of Michigan National Bank. The Maple 3 was developed by E. Sloan Co., with design and interiors by T. Rogvoy Associates and built by J.S. Vig Construction Co. Opening attractions were "The Domino Principle," starring Gene Hackman, Candice Bergen, Richard Widmark and Mickey Rooney, at Maple 1; "Logan's Run," which features now-famous pin-up girl Farrah Fawcett-Majors, at Maple 2, and the Academy Award-nominated film "Cousin Cousine" at Maple 3. Eddie Johnsons Retiring In Port Charlotte, Fla. BAY CITY, MICH. — E. C. "Eddie" Johnson and his wife Thelma, recipients of a "Beloved Citizens Award" from the Bay City Chamber of Commerce, have bowed out of show business here to live in Port Charlotte, Fla. Johnson has owned six Bay City, three Saginaw and two Flint theatres since moving here in 1938. Thelma for 30 years has been involved in an amateur dramatic career (on stage and off stage) with the Bay City Players. To mark their departure from the world of theatre in Bay City, "everyone" honored the couple at an open house in the Players' Theatre Saturday night, March 12. Thelma became a part of live theatre locally when she started working with the Bay City Players during World War II. Since that time, she has been a performer and a director and has done various types of off-stage work. Among other posts, she has served as president of the theatre's board of directors. Johnson, according to Times staffer Gay McGee, "traces his love of the theatre back to a first ushering job at age 14 ... He purchased his first theatre when he was just two years out of high school. Shirley Temple and Will Rogers were the two principal stars who 'really drew them in' when he opened his first boxoffice in New Buffalo, Mich." Locally, he has owned (at various times) the Colonial, the Washington, the City, the Woodside and the Tivoli theatres. And he was president of Allied Theatres of Michigan during the 1950-51 term. "Movies have come a long way from the likes of the Will Rogers and Shirley Temple favorites," Johnson reminisced. "Maybe too far—but I like to think that we may have passed on through the shock phase to another kind of drama." Johnson has sold his Westown Theatre and the Court Theatre in Saginaw to his nephew John, who has been training under the Bay City theatreman. What plans have been made for retirement? They've acquired a house in Florida (with a canal flowing past on two sides) and they look forward to gardening and golf. And, guess what, Thelma already has made contacts with a little theatre group in Port Charlotte, so there will still be show business in their life! 20th-Fox Considering Ky. For Location Filming (Continued from page ME-2) Kentucky locations for a large percentage of this film," Clark-Todd disclosed.

Clark-Todd said they looked at several horse farms, public buildings, businesses and university buildings in Lexington, manufacturing plants in Louisville, the Capitol, the governor's mansion and the Capital Plaza Tower in Frankfort. "Bernhard was very pleased with what they saw in Kentucky and all the members of the 20th Century-Fox group were very gratified by the cooperation shown them by Gov. Carroll and the Kentucky Film Commission," Clark-Todd commented. Kentucky Locations For Pan American 3 LEXINGTON, KY. — Editing is nearly completed on "The Thoroughbreds." a feature-length motion picture produced by Pan American Films in the Lexington area in October and November 1976.
