Here’s a bit of information about this theater that I found on the web site of Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs (though it’s only in a Google cache, not on the current web page.) There’s no date on the page, so I don’t know how long ago it was posted:

“Mr. [Clint] Williams has also renovated the old Brice (Pal) Theatre back to its grandeur. The theatre hosts local performers and can also be utilized a meeting facility with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment. Adjacent to the theatre sits a small coffee shop which once functioned as a dentist office and apartment many years ago. With recent renovations, it is a meeting place for local residents for morning coffee or Saturday night music gatherings.”
Here is a fairly recent photo of the Blue Marquee.

Thanks for that picture Chuck. It brings back a lot of memories. I would occasionally visit family in Lyons and was always interested in the town theatre although the only movie I recall seeing there was “Night of Dark Shadows” in the fall of 1971. There were probably others.

I think that the Pal was closed the last time I was in Lyons, which would have been in the mid 80’s. It was certainly closed in 1986 when your picture was taken. A new twin theatre had opened in nearby Vidalia, and although Lyons is the county seat, Vidalia was the larger city.
