My mom was there for the Atlanta premiere at the old DeGive Opera House (the Loew's Grand as it was then - now sadly no more).
She sat on her daddy's shoulders so that she could see Leigh and Gable walk into the theater. It was a Big Deal for a little town, as Atlanta was then.

Did you see this newsreel segment I posted on Dec. 16 after the Atlanta premiere?

Some entrepreneur sold the bricks from the Grand. I used to see them all boxed up with certificates of authenticity at a flea market in Chamblee.
