I grew up in Red Bank in the fifties and don’t remember a movie house. The old folks did talk about there having been one there.
There was a drive-in (Red Bank Drive-In).
The July 10, 1948, issue of Boxoffice said that the Fox Theatre had recently opened in Red Bank. The 700-seat house was managed by Mrs. Myrtle Pitts and owned by Fox Theatres Inc. of Chatsworth, Georgia.
Saw so many of the Roy & Dale movies there. Serials, cartoons and Fox News Reels there. Cost 7 cents to get in. This was in 1948 to the early 1950’s. We moved back to Florida in 1949, but we would go back to the Fox on visits. Fond memories all.
Opened on June 14th, 1948 per:
