King Theater

According to Hubert Craddock in an interview in 1957, H.L. Capers, Frank Gray, and Hubert Craddock leased an existing theatre in 1934 and renamed the theatre, “The New Deal”. At that time, Franklin D. Roosevelt had just been elected and everyone was talking about “the New Deal”, so these three men decided to change the name of an existing theatre at this location to “The New Deal”. In 1937, Hubert Craddock says that H.L. Capers renamed the theatre for the last time “The King”.
