The Strand was owned by Jessie Howe, a savvy business woman and wonderful lady. She also owned the Sunset Drive-In Movies, which was managed by Tucker and Irene Bowen (Howe’s niece). Tucker and Irene both worked at the Strand as well.

The owner, Jessie Howe, passed away and the family members who were running it, Tucker and Irene Bowen, were ready to retire.

The Sunset was a landmark for young and old alike. If you lived in Hot Springs, you went to the Sunset.

She also owned the Strand Theater.
