Royal Theater-1954

 

In May 1930, Pierce County's Royal Theatre premiered "talkies" on Main Street in Blackshear. The film "On With the Show" ran for three days. Additionally, the classic movie "Gone With the Wind" was screened for two days in June 1941.

 

Here are a few snapshots from Mr. Hendry's collection featuring advertisements from the theatre's golden age in the 1950s. Do you or any of your family members have memories of watching a movie at this theatre?
