This early Springfield theater opened in 1909, and closed in 1920. It stood near the corner of Sixth and Monroe Streets.

Was this the first Kerasotes theatre?

The August 3, 1957, issue of Boxoffice refers to "...Gus Kerasotes, pioneer exhibitor who opened one of the nation's first movie theatres, the Royal at Springfield, in 1909."

And the photo linked above does show that the building is indeed still standing.
