The Royal Theatre was opened in 1940. It was a small theatre with stadium seating and no balcony. It was a second run house and played double features.
Later renamed Don Theatre, its marquee was silver aluminum with the name spelled out in red letters and neon. Its box office was round, aluminum and glass, that sat in the middle of the entrance and just large enough for the cashier.
The Don Theatre was closed in 1957, and was demolished in 1960.

The Don Theatre was located at 411 26th Avenue in downtown Gulfport. It opened about 1940 as the Royal Theatre.
I think the address should be 1411 26th Ave., that would put it in downtown, 411 does not map into downtown.
Chuck1231, you are correct. The address was 1411 26th Avenue. The site is now located in the middle of a parking garage and bank that took over that entire block between 26th and 27th Avenues.
Need to update the header with the address
1411 26th St.
