Hodges Theatre

The Sopchoppy Theatre building was originally a store. Walter Revell put in a theatre during World War II that was only open on Saturday nights. It was closed for a short time and reopened by 1956 under Hodge Bros. as the Hodges Theatre. It had a seating capacity for 150 persons and a 16mm projector. It had little heat and no air conditioning. Admission was 25 or 30 cents. D.L. Strickland bought and operated it for 6-7 years and then returned it to a store and warehouse. The emergence of television contributed to its closing down. History text by Jeff Davies.
