Drove Southgate today, Funny the whole world is watching the MASTERS about 8 miles up the road from Southgate,What depressed part of Town, looks like CLARLY CHAPEL was on the marquee,from what i could make of it,looks like the church has even left Southgate.

DEc 17, 1974 and Southgate is playing Dyan Cannon in “CHILD UNDER A LEAF” Rated R.
SOUTHGATE gets a classy picture “CABARET” opens 02-14-73. Rated PG. Plays awhile there.
Southgate picks up a very good first run Sci-fi “SOYLENT GREEN” rated PG. 4-18-73.
Had a friend visit the church that now uses SOUTHGATE CINEMA for a home and he went up to the booth and all the equipment was still there to show movies. I had a feeling it was still up there. It was one of the few booths in this city i never put a foot in. It was Union house for a long time. Local 518.Only one living member still around.
For 99 cents you can see “RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK” rated PG.It had a successful run at WEIS CINEMAS.
Southgate Cinema playing DAY and DATE with THE HILLTOP DRIVE-in.
NOW SHOWING “GONE IN 60 SECONDS” and “EAT MY DUST!” both rated pg.
FRom a found booking sheet found in the MILLER THEATRE,City Managers office;
SOUTHGATE CINEMA now playing SNOWBALL EXPRESS,MAGIC WORLD OF WALT DISNEY,and i don’t know if was ever booked by set for Feb 26 1973 CASABLANCA. I know it does sound right for this South Augusta Theatre.
JUNE 12 1979, “EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE” moves down the street from the mall to SOUTHGATE CINEMA.
THE POM POM GIRLS plays here. It is rated PG. Looks more like a Weis Cinema movie.
Now showing June 10 1972 THE SPORTING CLUB.
Now showing July 9 1972 THE WRATH OF GOD.
NOW SHOWING July 16 1972 a pretty decent film for that side of town, CABARET has a long run at SOUTHGATE.
OF all Augusta’s Theatres this one got the least respect. It was thrown up block building in the BACK of the shopping center. It was certainly not has pretty as NATIONAL HILLS or even DANIEL VILLAGE.
In other words, even films like HELLO DOLLY opened there they would have better suited at National Hills.
Southgate Cinema is playing a Double Feature THE WINDS of AUTUMN and WINTER HAWK.1976.
March 31 1972 a very impressive run for George C. Scott in the HOSPITAL. Augusta being the home to the Medical College of Georgia usually sees medical movies even this Paddy Chayefsky movie is on its 4th week proving that side of town still enjoys a first run product that way too often ends up in West Augusta.
Back in middle 70’s we were playing this on a late show here it is at SOUTHGATE CINEMA…. THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. RATED pg April 22 1977.
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST leaves MASTERS 4 and is sent across town to SOUTHGATE.
SOUTHGATE CINEMA August 2 1975
In the final week of THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER shows at 3:00 5:00 7:00 and 9:00
Feb. 26 1975 Southgate is playing THE FRONT PAGE.
