Here is a photo of the Joy circa 1952. My mother said her aunt (Odie Turner) used to take her to movies there in the early 40’s when she would visit her.

Chuck….The building is on 1st Street right near North Hazel Street. Enter 1st St and N Hazel St into Google maps. Then click on “More info about 1st St & N Hazel St” and you should find the Joy Theater building in the photo.
