“Here is a historic photo from the Old Route 66 city of “WAYNESVILLE, MISSOURI” in the beautiful Ozarks. We believe it to be about 1942 based on the movie advertised in the City Drug Store side window and the automobiles. According to the “Route 66 in Pulaski County, Missouri a local history” by Terry Primas, “The Wayne Theatre was the first movie theater in Waynesville, opening four days earlier than the Fort Wood Theatre. It was located midway on the west side of the square and seated 400. It is the white building in front of the auto. The Wayne closed January 1, 1949. Admission was 10 cents for children and 20 cents for adults. The theater along with Dodds General Store building became Pete Rouse’s Western Auto Associate Store which burned. The site is now occupied by Roubidoux Plaza.”
Update:
The original address, entrance & marquee is/was 103 Main Ave. N.
Building currently houses Mark’s Hardware, which closed off the Main Street entrance, and uses the 1st Street address and entrance around the corner.

Still in business then with “The Trap” starring Richard Widmark on the marquee, released January 28, 1959.
