The Hays was open in 1949. It was twinned in the early-1970’s and clossed in the late 1980’s. Header should read two screens.

Thanks, going by my old 1956 book.

This was a family run operation. The Cooper family eventually opened the Mall Cinema Twin in the city of Hays and operated a drive in and an indoor at Dodge City, Kansas as well.

Header still needs to be changed to Twin.

It would’ve been about 2000 Old US 40. I think there’s a Pepsi plant there, now.
