The Roane Theatre is listed as operating in the 1943 edition of Film Daily Yearbook (it is not in the 1941 or 1950 editions).
However, came across a listing for a Roane Theatre in the 1968-88 editions of the IMPA which is listed as being on Clinch Street in the nearby town of Harriman, TN. The theatre was part of the Rockwood Amusement circuit and was possibly built or opened in 1971. If you have any information on the Roane, please update.

THE ONLY ROANE THEATER I REMEMBER WAS ON GATEWAY BLVD .ON THE CORNER OF ROCKWOOD STREET AND GATEWAY BLVD IN ROCKWOOD,TENNESSEE. IT IS NOW DEMOLISHED.
The Roane was listed as being in Rockwood in the 1970 motion picture almanac. It was part of Rockwood Amusements. Nothing was listed in Harriman at that time. This is from the 1970 IMPA.
Good information. There was a Princess Theater in Harriman, TN and there was a Roane Theater in Rockwood, TN. that dates back to at least the 1940s. Maybe this theater should be listed as being in Rockwood, TN.
