My Dad, Robin Wightman, managed the Royal Theatre and Skyvue Drive-In in Arkadelphia prior to moving to Little Rock to manage theaters there. The Royal and Skyvue were both owned by the late Cecil Cupp, Sr. I spent the first 12 years of my life sitting in the Royal and riding go-carts and riding the pony, Skyboy, at the Skyvue. I have great memories of Arkadelphia and the Cupp family.
I would like to thank Mr. Robinson for his very kind comments about my Dad. He and Mr. Hobbs were “Showmen” in every sense of the word. If there are movie theatres in heaven, I have a feeling Mr. Hobbs and my Dad are running them.
