Seeing a movie at this theater was a throwback to the earlier times of going to a large auditorium with a big screen. The theater started off in a small shopping center. Albert Weis tore down the shopping center and added three small auditoriums to the large one. The last time I was in Savannah, the theater was torn down.

An October 18, 1999 article about the closing of the Abercorn Cinema in Savannah, briefly mentions this theater: Another United Artists movie theater — the four-screen Tara — closed in January.
UA closed the Tara in January, 1999 and it was later demolished.
When the theater was open it was called Cinema 1. This was the large theater. The theate was part of a small mall that Weis built. Later he inclosed the mall to create three additional theaters. This addition took place over several years in the early 1970’s. During the early 70’s he called it Cinema 1 and Cinema 2. The Cinema 1 was called the popular showplace and Cinema 2 was called the intimate theater. When the third cinema was added he called it the Weis Cinema Center.
