The Bacon Theatre was renamed the Village Theatre for a few years in the mid-1960s and was last known as the Woodford Theatre since the late-1960s before closing on November 15, 1971 with Walter Mattheau in “A New Lease”. Ads from 1975 confirms that the theater was placed on sale.

Most likely closed around June 1950 when the Alene Theatre opened nearby.

The Alene most likely opened in June 1950, that also caused the closure of the nearby Kentucky Theatre. A May 25, 1950 article confirms that they are “finishing the touches”.

Special events are also presented during its very early years. Although there’s not a lot of information that I can find about the Horse Hospital during its early years, the Horse Hospital once did host some type of a fashion show in December 1992.

Not visible in the 1983 aerial, although it was listed in several 1970s topos. The layout of the theater is also very strange looking.
