    Original Laurel & Hardy- The Big Noise -Ticket Booth / Popcorn Machine Movie Card From Burnsville NC Theater That Was Named The "Carolina Theater"! These Cards Were Held By Metal Brackets Displayed In The Ticket Window Or Popcorn Machine! The Movie Theater Was In The Mountains Of North Carolina  And Only Had 35 Seats! Theater Was Closed In 1966 So All Cards That Were From This Theater Are Before That Date!
    The Lady Who Owned The Theater
    Left Her Estate To The Church
    And Also Had A Drive -In
    In NC As Well.
    The Cards Measure Around 12 X 5 On Heavy Weight Card Stock! I Purchased Some Of These Cards From An Old Man From Burnsville NC Back In 2007. He Told Me He Purchased An Old Popcorn Machine From A Church Sale ( That Machine Had A Very Faded Movie Card On It ) He Asked About The Card And The Deacon Said He Found Some With The Woman's Estate Items!  And There Was A Stack Of Movie Title Cards In A Wall Paper Sample Book! These Cards Have Been Preserved In Nr. Mint Condition After All These Years! The Man I Got These Cards From Was 84 In 07' And Was Happy To Tell Me This Great Story! What A Wonderful Find And Piece Of History From A Small Mountain Town! I Have Not Seen Many Of These Sort Of Cards On eBay In Many Many Years! Please Ask Any Questions! Thank You!  ( Last One)!!
