This was located at 2055 US Hwy 41, North, GA 31029. Its present in a 1955 aerial but by 1973 completely demolished and overgrown with trees. Was probably a short lived theatre.
Does anybody know any information about the Nancy Cinema off of Tift College Drive near Interstate 75 that started life as a single-screener in the 1970s? I recently read a handful of showtime articles, but I cannot find as much information about the theater itself.
Boxoffice ran an article on Oct. 18, 1976 about officer elections for the Southern Independent Theatre Exhibitors. One of the vice presidents was Larry Daniels, Nancy Cinema, Forsyth, Ga.
The Nancy was included in Boxoffice’s “For Sale or Lease” classified ads for several weeks in January 1977. “Central Georgia - 296 seats, two years old, 5,000 city population, 20,000 drawing area. Only theatre in town. Owner retiring, terms to suit. 100% first class. Nancy Cinema, P.O. Box 846, Forsyth, Ga. 31029. (912) 994-9467.”
Boxoffice, Aug. 1, 1977: “Southern Independent Theatres reported that they will begin doing the booking and buying for the Nancy Cinema, Forsyth”
Nothing left of the drive-in today. There is an entrance in the same location as the old drive-in entrance and that is about it.
