The first Strand Theatre launched as the Palace Theatre on July 26, 1928 by Jack Dykes and Gus Whiteman, and was renamed the Strand Theatre in 1940. The second Strand Theatre in the Union building opened as the Strand Theatre #2 on December 2, 1949 with Joel McCrea in “South of St. Louis” (unknown if extras added) and both Strands continued to operate into the following few months but didn’t last long.
The Strand Theatre #2 in the Union building closed in 1950 after just a few months in operation, leaving the original Strand Theatre the only one remaining. The Strand Theatre #2 would later reopen as the Union Theatre for a brief time in 1952 and then changed its name to the Kay Theatre afterward in 1953. The Strand and Kay Theatres continued operating into the mid-1950s, but the Strand closed in the late-1950s, leaving the Kay Theatre the only one in Farmerville.
The Kay Theatre was renamed the Joy Theatre in 1958, and remained in operation until November 26, 1966 when it was destroyed by a fire during a double feature of Elvis’s “Frankie And Johnny” and Adam West’s “Batman And Robin”. The fire happened during intermission just prior to its showing of “Batman And Robin” which led to the cancellation of its scheduled showing of Walt Disney’s “That Darn Cat” scheduled for the following day.

It didn’t last long, and both theaters were renamed the AMC SeaTac North Theatre and AMC SeaTac South Theatre a short time afterward.
The AMC Sea-Tac South Theatre closed for the final time on August 5, 2001, while the nearby AMC Sea-Tac North Theatre closed the following year on August 22, 2002.
