However, in the 1975 aerial view, you can see parts of the traces.

This was a replacement of an earlier theater also called the Lineville Theatre. The second Lineville Theatre closed in Fall 1982. The theater did briefly reopen in 1983 but closed that summer. The building suffered damage from Hurricane Opal in October 1995.

Lakeland’s first Walmart opened on April 30, 1985 but closed ten years later in 1995 when it relocated less than a mile north across FL-570, and that location later expanded to Supercenter on October 28, 2009.

There is a 1978 photo that shows the entirety of the Live Oak Shopping Plaza including Winn-Dixie and Sears as its main stores, but unfortunately no theater.

This operated as early as 1955, although I cannot find any information about its early life.

The Columbia Theatre did had a few fire incidents, one of which gutted the entire theater in late-November 1898, and another one destroyed its projection equipment after film caught fire on May 23, 1920. The Columbia closed in December 1927 and was converted into a storeroom on June 26, 1928.

50sSNIPES commented about Dublin Village Cinema 4 on Oct 30, 2025 at 10:47 am

Interesting! And yes, I think you might be right on the money. When the original Village Theater first opened its doors during the late-1960s, it was part of the Chris McGuire Cinemas chain, according to a September 1969 article from The Macon Telegraph. The Village Theater was already operating into the early-1980s, meaning that there could be a strong chance that this may’ve divided and turned into a quad on February 1, 1985.

Actually this is 1977. “The Littlest Horse Thieves” and “The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh” are both released on March 11, 1977, meaning that this is taken during the Spring of 1977.

Cinemark took over the theater during the late-1980s, not early-1990s. It was already a Cinemark when Westgate opened nearby in 1989.

The Dixie opened as early as 1925 and was still open in the early-1960s.

Question: Did it screen the complete UFA German print of “Faust” or the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer American print?
