acdecoster commented about Alamo Theatre on Jul 25, 2017 at 10:16 am

“A few doors down from the Gem, the space that now houses The Alamo Theater at 19 West Court Square was built in 1880 as a commercial building, home to a harness shop, general store, and a butcher through the decades. A blacksmith, and later a barbeque stand once occupied the alley space behind. The building was converted into a movie theater with one screen and 551 seats in 1928.” -http://www.mainstreetnewnan.com/p/getinvolved/147

“The Gem Theater was once located a few doors down from the Alamo’s current location. The theater opened during the era of silent films, and can be seen on a 1911 map labeled “moving pictures”. The movie theater featured one screen and 241 seats.” -http://www.mainstreetnewnan.com/p/getinvolved/147

It is not listed under the “Landmarks Lost” section on the website shared above in my previous comment. Still trying to figure out if something is extant there…

“Chatsworth hit big-time when Fort Theatre opened; the first movie was "Drums Along the Mohawk,” starring Fred McMurray. Oliver Dickson managed the theatre and sold tickets from the box office. Junior Ledford operated the projector (the film broke several times during the movie, requiring intermissions for repair — sometimes long intermissions — before the movie began again). A later popcorn concession was run by Cecil Bradley. Friends of Cecil’s got a bag filled to spilling over. A typical Saturday afternoon during the 1942-1950 era found the majority of town high-school boys and girls waiting around for the late-night show to begin.“ -http://www.murraycountymuseum.com/mm_02.html
