On November 16, 1911 Lucas married Margaret Brown Cunningham with whom he had three children, daughter Jean Kingman and sons Arthur Melville III and John Stewart Lucas. Lucas was raised in Savannah, where he began his movie theater business, which grew to include 40 theaters across Georgia, including Atlanta's Fox Theater. The Lucas Theater in Savannah is the only one named for him.
In 1946, the Atlanta Boy Choir was founded as part of the music program for the Atlanta City School System in 1946. That early boy choir gave annual concerts locally and was composed of boys with unchanged voices. In 1953, another boy choir, known as the Atlanta Boy Choir was founded by George Crawford. That choir met at a local church. When Mr. Crawford relocated to Alabama, parents of the members of that early choir formed a new choir and chose Fletcher Wolfe as the founding director. That choir was legally incorporated as the Atlanta Boy Choir, Inc., in November 1959.
Incorporated as the first non-profit music education organization in Georgia. https://atlantamusicclub.org/about/
