Dated only “1940s,” the photo was apparently taken after
Joy cinema management. Entrance lobby ran through a small commercial building into the auditorium. Marquee marked “Derby Show,” with “Thrills! Chills! Spills!” in smaller lettering below that on the sides. Research on “Derby Show” in Atlanta Constitution, Variety, and Billboard came up with nothing. May have involved roller skating, since “roller derbies” were extremely popular at the time.
