This first opened as the Shadowland Theatre and operated as early as 1920. It was renamed the Pal Theatre on July 29, 1935 after it was sold to Mitchell F. Brice of Vidalia. It received a big remodel on February 7, 1956.
Closed in the mid-2010s, now renovated, still abandoned as of 2025.
My cousin Pete Lockhart was manager at Louisville, Wadley and the Rebel drive in in Millen. We had several great trips to St. Simons staying at the Brice cottage for a week each time.

In the early sixties, there was a string of Pal Theaters in Georgia, run by the Pal Amusement company, Pete Brice and Margaret Ladson, owners. Pal Theaters were in Glenville, Hinesville, Louisville, Lyons, Millen, Mt. Vernon, Soperton and Vidalia.
