According to the Troup County History website, the LaGrange Theater on Main Street was built in 1930 for O. C. Lam of the Lam Amusement Company.
According to Bowers' “Encyclopedia” page 551, there was a “Rivoli” theatre in LaGrange equipped with a Reproduco organ made by the Operators Piano Co. I could not find a page for the Rivoli, so I am putting this here for the time being.
This is an undated photo of the LaGrange Theater.
According to this article in the New Georgia Encyclopedia, the LaGrange Theatre was designed by the Atlanta architectural firm Tucker & Howell.
IMdB says that the movie “Times Square Lady” (which is on the poster in the undated photo Lost Memory linked to just above) was released in 1935.
Looks like the theatre must have reopened after the closing date given above because in 1986 it was playing “Police Academny 3”.

This theatre closed in 1989 not 1969.
Please Fix the Marquee.Didn’t the manager notice it when he opened up,what about the projectionist that came from across the street with a chili dog in his hand.What about the candy girl.Theatres I managed that would not happen cause most of the time 99% i would grab the ladder and fix it.Heck,I did it one time off the clock.
If you look at the ground you can see it is wet, maybe the wind blew the I down and in turn knocked the N sideways. Can’t tell from the photo if the theatre was open for the day yet.
