Boren and Morrows Theatres announced this project in 1946 but post-War shortages delayed its opening. J. Lee Griffith opened the venue as the Griffith Theatre on April 4, 1947 with Fred Astaire in “Yolando and the Thief.” Griffith would then purchase the competing Gay and Grand theaters from Charles Weisenberg. Tulia Theatres Corp., formed by Jewel Avant and R. T. O'Daniel, purchased the Griffith Theatre and renamed it as the Royal Theatre in 1949 which was still operating in the 2020s.

Saw “The Day the World Ended” (a Roger Corman Cheapie) there in the mid-1950s. Glad to hear it’s still up and running.
