The corner building in the photo currently displayed is not the one that housed the Royal Theatre. 103 Main Street is around the corner to the right, and is currently occupied by a pet grooming salon called Pamper Cottage. We can partly see the upper floors of the theater building to the left of the corner building in the photo. CinemaTour has three photos of the Royal building’s exterior, from Matt Lutthens.

Laurel had a house called the Odeon Theatre in operation by 1914, and one called the Casino Theatre in operation by 1917. It’s possible that either of those names was an aka for the Royal, and perhaps both of them were. The building is certainly old enough, and I’ve been unable to find addresses for either of the earlier houses.
