The Royal Theatre was located on South Lauderdale Street just south of East Trigg Avenue. Closed sometime in the late-1950's.

Here is how this theatre looks on 7/4/2007: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gspragin/723338364/ and here is the annex: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gspragin/722470553/in/photostream/

It seems to be freshly painted. The sign on the front says, "The Studio."

The theater was converted into Hi/Royal Recording Studios in the late '50s. Among some of those who recorded here were the Memphis Horns and the Ike and Tina Turner Review, back when Memphis was the capitol of Soul.

Here is a link to the studios' history that many will find of interest.
