It appears that the magazines I cited in my previous comment misspelled the theater owner’s name. His capsule movie reviews in issues of Motion Picture Herald from 1946, 1947, and 1948 (there are dozens of them) are signed James C. Balkcom, Jr..

The April 10, 1947, issue of Motion Picture Daily mentioned the Gray Theatre:

“Atlanta, April 9. — Martin and Thompson theatres circuit has sold the Gray, at Gray, to J. C. Balcom and the Roxy, at Milan, to Cecil Crumby.”
Mr. Balcom might have been the manager of the Gray for Martin and Thompson prior to buying the house from them. A brief review, written by J. C. Balcom, Jr., of the Gray Theatre, Gray, Ga., was published in the “What the Picture Did For Me” section of the May 12, 1945, issue of Motion Picture Herald.
