The Oaks Cinema opened in the late-1960’s and was located five blocks from the much older Echo Theatre. The Oaks Cinema was open until 2000.

Here is a 1984 Photo. Is this a photo of this theater?
I stand corrected on the c;osing date in the header. The Oaks was open thru 2000. It was initially operated by Martin Theatres and later by Carmike Theatres until it closed in 2000. The photo that Lost Memory linked to is the Oaks Cinema in Laurens.
Laurens is bigger than i thought,they also had a 200 car capacity Drive-in.
Laurens is about 10,000 population, but the county is 70,000. I grew up 26 miles away, but I had left home before The Oaks opened. I went here once with my wife around 1968 or so. Inside, it was a nice theatre then. The exterior appeared to be of a Butler type construction. I would have guessed it had more than 322 seats. Carmike later did a twinning which I never saw. If it was down-the-middle, it would have been the usual disaster, long and narrow with a tiny screen.
