I only recall ever visiting this location once to see “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud” (at least I think this was where I saw it!) Funny how in that era you sometimes had to travel to see a film.

It was such a tiny cinema. I don’t remember there being much of a lobby and the ticket booth was next door or across the way. We went to see “Charlotte’s Web” there for a birthday party- my most vivid memory of the theater and it was just a lilliputian type place.

RETRACTION. THE FORMER THEATRE BUILDING IS STILL INTACT AS OF 12/28/05. In that I had not graced the area in over a decade, I did not recognize the area and missed looking through the cracks. If someone in the Springs area with a camera wouldn’t mind taking a photo of the building and posting it, it will save me the hassle and petrol of having to scout back over there if and when I am back in the Atlanta.

IT’S GONE! Was in the area today and took it own me self to take a drive over to the former theatre to make a couple of photos of it. Imagine my dismay to find that it was swallowed into a sea of asphalt leaving no sign that it ever exited on this celestial ball.
