Queen Theatre

Fred H. Rike opened the Feature Theatre on December 20, 1915 at 214 North Kentucky St.in McKinney. The Brockman Brothers – Tom S. and Roy L. – took over the struggling theatre and after a quick remodel in June of 1916 reopened it as the Queen Theatre on Jun 17, 1916. In 1922, the Brockmans took the Queen equipment and signage to Frisco to open the Queen Theatre there. The Brockmans sold the Queen to E.L. Black or his brother. Black sold it to John T. Northcutt. Northcutt then sold it to E.L. Black in 1927. Black sold it again – but when the stock market collapsed – the new owners seemed to flounder so Black got it back. The theater appears to fulfill a ten-year lease and close.
