No, 3Gary3 the Ilex was demolished. The Star building is still standing I’m pretty sure…There is no more Ilex it was demolished long ago…provided the drive thru lane for the Bank of Quitman next door, which is now closed. The photo is NOT of the Ilex Theatre…read my post.
This is NOT the Ilex…This is the Star theatre. The Ilex was as SiliconSam decribed. On Lee Street next to the Bank of Quitman. It had a stone facade with the head of an Ilex bull holding up the marque…I would like to see that photo taken down. It is NOT, I repeat NOT the Ilex. I was born in 1951 and attended this theatre all my life. I will see what I can do to get an accurate photo available. You may contact the Brooks County Cultural Center and Museum for a photo I’m quite sure. I will try to contact them as well, but you may get quicker service if they think it will be posted online. Again, the photo you have is of the Star NOT the Ilex. The Ilex was quite flashy. I see where theatrorganmana told you over 2 years ago this is not the Ilex and that he has a photo…what gives. If I can’t download a photo it will do me no good to find it. Please straighten this out…it’s ridiculous to have this photo on your site and call it the Ilex.
