The Marrh Theatre opened in November 1950 with what was billed as a first run of “Broken Arrow” (1950) starring James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget. Chandler portrayed the American Indian Cochise, and Paget was an Indian maiden who was Stewart’s love interest.
I saw “Broken Arrow” at the Marrh during its first week of operation. I was 5 years old at the time. For the next 10-15 years, the Marrh was the Saturday morning/afternoon hangout for most of the kids in North Augusta. I saw Brenda Lee perform there when she was a young kid living in North Augusta.
Many a good time was had at the Marrh and to a lesser degree at its successor, the Carolina.
