- Printed on assignment sheet: "Atlanta, February 4. It's the truth, debris from the burned out shell of Loew's Grand Theatre in downtown Atlanta is dumped on the street Saturday as demolition begins after the building was destroyed by fire on Monday. The theatre was the sight of the world premiere of the classic motion picture 'Gone with the Wind' in December, 1939. The theatre recently closed it's door after audiences became smaller and smaller in number. The fire destroyed attempts to have the building declared a national landmark. 1978"
