CLAXTON — Opened in 1927 when movies were still silent, the Tos Theatre in downtown Claxton closed after a November 1976 showing of “Across the Great Divide.” “Futureworld,” billed as the next attraction, apparently never played at the walk-in. After a decade in public ownership under the Evans County Recreation Commission, a construction project last fall restored the façade of the theater to its pre-1940 outlines.
