The Muse Theatre and the Roxy Theatre are two different theaters, both operated by Martin Theatres.
Martin Theatres opened the Muse Theatre on April 10, 1950 with Jane Powell in “Nancy Goes To Rio” (unknown if extras added). It has an original capacity of 725 Airlift upholstered seats (with 475 seats in the orchestra pit and 250 seats in the balcony). The Muse Theatre was named after its original owners Mr. and Mrs. Pat Muse.
The Muse Theatre was renamed the Simco Cinema in 1973, and was briefly renamed the Perry Theatre in 1979 before closing as a movie house in the early-1980s.
The building has gone through some major renovations and is now The Muse Theatre, an event hall. The theatre interior is gone, but it is an attractive site just the same. The new website is https://www.themusetheatrega.com/
I don’t think that is what happened. I was just through Perry and this is how the theater looks now.

I read recently that there is a campaign in progress to restore this theater. Seems the idea is to turn it into a multi purpose venue, hey that will work if they can save the theater.
Perry’s twin cinema was on the Golden Isles connector just outside of town. They are both closed but you can tell there was a theater in the shopping center.
