The Will Rogers in Charleston is open but has been divided into two screens. It shows mostly movies that are just about at the end of their run, although it does show some newer movies if the local multiplex is extending popular films. The lobby, once grand for a small town, needs work. The outside is classic art deco movie palace. The local arts council is planning a film festival in September ‘04 to honor local-boy-made-good Gregg Toland, the cinemetographer for Citizen Kane.
