Louis, The Royal opened in 1930 and was owned and operated by Finkelstein Theatres.It opened as the Royal so I don’t think it was the Milford. There was another theatre during that time period called the Park, maybe that was the Milford.
Could the ROYAL have been known as the MILFORD in an earlier life?
From the Spirit Lake Beacon, November 30, 1939:
DISTRICT COURT.
The foreclosure of a mechanics lien case of the J. F. Anderson
Lumber Co., vs. E. C. Arehart and the Spencer Investment Co., has occupied the attention of the district court this week. The case is one growing out of an outside Neon sign salesman contracted to construct the new canopy and sign for the Milford theatre and failed to complete his job or pay the bills, and after making collections along left unceremoniously. The case is still being heard as the Beacon goes to press.
