Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Barkwill launched the Royal Theatre on April 15, 1916 with “The Girl of the Golden West” and “Cruel, Cruel Love.” The Royal closed in 1922 and the space in the W.F. McGinnis building was retrofitted for other retail interests.
Address was 104 S Main. It was a very old one story brick store, quite narrow. Built sometime before 1884, it is shown as vacant on the 1912 map. This was demolished long ago, and the site is a bank drive-through.
