Yes I Believe The Theater Ended Up Closing In 1939. This Was Followed By The Grand Opening Of The Nearby Lenox Theatre In February 1940, Which Will Have Its CinemaTreasures Page Soon.

According To The Frankfort Index, I Can Find Listings At Dated Throughout The 1960’s In Which In 1965, The Royal Theatre I Believe Didn’t Demonstrate Mainly Movies In The First Place, But Maybe Was Used For Special Events Only. The Royal Theatre Ended Up Closing In 1970. 8 Years Later On April 12th, 1978, Mr. Kennedy And Mrs. Paul Opened Back Up The Royal Theatre As An Antique Shop Called “Royal Antiques”.

50sSNIPES commented about Horne Drive-In on May 31, 2020 at 2:34 pm

The Earliest Information I Can Find Is A 1953 Showing. Unfortunately, This Theater Had Some Bad News And Good News.

The Bad News Is That A Few Years Later, This Theater Started To Mainly Run More Adult-Audience Films Throughout The Late 1950’s And Into The Half Of The 1960’s (As Late As 1964 I Can Find).

The Good News Is That Only ONE TIME, The Horne Drive-In Showed Only A Few Days Of Friendly-Fare By Running The 1956 Smash Film “The Ten Commandments” On April 11th And 12th, 1961 Before Switching Back To More Adult Fare.
