The Eveska and the Gay are the same theatre. Seating is listed at 352, it is now Grace Baptist Church. Gay was the name when the theatre first opened and later became the Eveska.

Here are a couple of photos of the theatre.
Bryan it has to be the Eveska. In that there was only one theatre in the county, this has to be it. Were you able to locate any information regarding the dates of operation? I haven’t found any mention of the theatre under either name in the IMPA. Thanks

I see quite a few references to these yearbooks on this site. On the internet, it looks like they sell for about $35 each. Is that the only way to obtain the information? Any help is appreciated.

Jack, the 1945 Film Daily Yearbook lists an Eveska Theatre in Hartsville seating 400 but no Gay Theatre. Could they be the same theatre?
