stand at Greenbriar Theater Wednesday evening before a showing
of Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Nortwest.”

The films are old,
the theater is new and the admission is always free.
Greenbriar Theater, Appalachian State University’s newest addition
to the learning and entertainment environment, promises a state-of-the-art
movie viewing experience at a very reasonable price.
John McElwee, a retired lawyer and film collector from North Wilkesboro,
donated the money for the 74-seat theater located on the second
floor of W. H. Plemmons Student Union.
