In better days, the Gene Theatre, pictured in Boxoffice of May 5, 1951.
Seating listed at 750.
I really wish i hadn’t clicked on the 1986 photo what a crying shame!
Would anyone have a picture of the Gene Theater. The above link of it pictured in Boxoffice of May 5, 1951 is broken. It has been closed since the late 70s and was named for Governor Eugene Talmadge of the 1940s. He was from McRae, Ga. where this movie theater operated. It is in a state of disrepair now. We would love to see an image of it in its glory days. Thanks, Telfair/McRae Ga. Historical Group
New link to 1951 trade journal photo, which is also currently displayed in the listing introduction: boxoffice
