This theater was opened in May 1950. Out of curiosity, I checked to see if there was also a Hamlet, Arkansas. There is, believe it or not. Perhaps some city planner was a Shakespeare fan.

The Horatio opened in May 1950.
Boxoffice noted in July 1949 that K. Lee Williams was in the process of opening a 300-seat theater in Horatio.
Was it this theater?
it was a K. Lee Williams Theatre, the name was Horation though,
I own the only one of the chain still left I believe… Ray
The Arkansas Historical Society magazine says the theatre name was Horation and opened in May of 1950. They give an address of 218 Main St. for this theatre. As Ray said it was part of the K. Lee Williams Theatre chain.
I just added a photo of an old post card, which shows the name Horatio on the marquee.
