We bring you this special wartime bulletin from the January 14, 1943 Quitman Free Press and the Ilex Theatre:
The Ilex, whose listed history on Cinema Treasures says it was named for a brand of cattle, has since been demolished.
Possibly the biggest reflection upon changes, though, is the claim that everyone in Quitman is located within a mile of the building. Or the suggestion that some Quitman ladies need to trim down, with a scale located right in the lobby for their convenience.
