Here’s a photo from 1977 (under the marquee) with another one of the same location in 2007:

“The Hurricane” is from 1937 and “Sundown” is from 1941, so maybe the date of the picture isn’t 1950?
If you look at the second 1950 photo, the movies on the marquee are “The Prisoner of Shark Island” (1936) and “Berlin Correspondent” (1942). Judging by the cars, this photo could be from 1949-50. I wonder if this theater had problems booking movies at that time.
Here it is in a postcard probably from the early 1970s
