The Majestic was part of the Malco chain in the early sixties.

I remember getting into the movie theatre in the “twelve and under” category for 75 cents. I am guessing that those “75 cents days” are over. Not having grown up in Stuttgart, I was never in the Majestic Theatre, but I imagine this photo will bring back some memories for a lot of people. Apparently, the theatre was mostly demolished sometime in the 80s. Parts of the old Majestic were salvaged for other buildings around Stuttgart. It was located on the south side of 4th Street, west of Main. I am told by a highly reliable source that the marquee in this photo is advertising the movie, “Man Who Never Was,” starring Clifton Webb, approximating the date of this photo as 1956. Photo Credit is given to the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie. The photo is also found in Glenn Mosenthin’s book, “Images of America: Stuttgart.” http://www.grandprairiemuseum.org/
The Majestic and a 400-seathouse called the Garden Theatre were listed at Stuttgart in the 1928 FDY. Only the Garden had been listed in 1927, making that the year the Majestic was likely opened. I think it might have originally been planned to have a different name. This item appeared in the July 23, 1927 issue of Moving Picture World: “The Arkansas Amusement Company will open their new Riceland Theatre at Stuttgart, Arkansas, in the near future.”
