The Classic was no longer listed in the IMPA as of 1967, so it must have closed sometime in the previous four years, as it was listed in the 1963 edition.
The building in the middle of the Google photo is Tee’s Barber Shop, 120 N. Greenwood. I don’t know if this is the original theater building. http://tinyurl.com/8u2ubf
There is a business called Harris Welding at 103 W. Main in Colfax. Unfortunately the photo over on the other site is so small that I can’t make out the signage. Any locals that can weigh on this would be helpful, so the address can be update.
Boxoffice magazine reported in January 1938 that the Anderson Theater in Mullins was being constructed at a cost of $40,000. The theater was expected to open in April of that year.

The current occupant of 320 N. Rock is a gym called “Just Ladies Fitness”.
I guess you could consider the movies at Blockbuster being second run, but the function should be retail.
