Here is a photo of the former Powder Springs Cinema from December 2005. The rectangular columns running horizontally across the front were speaker chambers for the interior auditoria.
Here is a photo from January 2006 of the Lamar looking the best it has in years. There has been some discussion about converting into a recording studio. Great to see some effort is being made to restore at least the exterior.
My only visit to this theatre was after it was converted into a kid’s gym. The entire main floor had been totally gutted. According to one of the gyms staffers, the balcony area was still intact although not accessible from the gym. I am a bit confused as to how the Bellaire was configured as five screen multiplex. Assuming that the main auditorium remained intact was the balcony split into four screens or was another auditorium added on? Are there any interior photos of the theatre available for viewing?
The Hollywood was located at 2469 Chelsea Avenue. The structure that currently resides at 616 Chelsea is listed as being built around 1933 and is zoned commercial. I currently don’t know the status of this property or if any remnant of the Avon/Chelsea is still apparent.
The former Normal Theatre building is still standing on Highland readily identifiable by its box office and marquee. The theatre is now part of Gill’s Bar & Grill and includes a shadowbox from the Loew’s State Theatre.
The Village Theatre was located at 4676 Knight Arnold Rd and was part of the Sky-Vue Amusements circuit. A karate school is currently listed at this address.
The theatre is still standing, but in much need of repair. Its address is 115 E Main St, Bells, TN 38006. Will have a posting of the photo in Feb 2006. The theatre looks to have been built sometime between 1920 and 1945.

Very well could be. Am still investigating. Although it is a “Classic” I don’t think that was its initial name.
