2001: A Space Odyssey Ad from the April 1, 1969 Columbus Dispatch

2001: A Space Odyssey had been released almost a year earlier to the day, and was still showing in Columbus a year later (at two theaters, no less). I saw it on its first release at the RKO Palace in downtown Columbus. I don't remember the Esquire Theater on Broad Street near James. I don't know when it went out of business, but it was remodeled in the early '70s, with a name change to Carousel East.

Palm Springs Weekend

November 28, 1963 ad. I love the byline for Earl Hamner, Jr., creator of The Waltons.
