Leonard Theatre

The Leonard Building is barely a ghost of it’s former self & faintly recognizable as a former movie theatre. It had opened as the Leonard Theatre by 1950 and retained this name until at least 1955 when it was renamed Joy Theatre. By 1956 it had been renamed Victory Theatre, again a short lived name as it reverted back to the Leonard Theatre name until its closing in the 1960’s. The building is in use as office space as of 2019.

An October 22, 1955 article about the reopening of the only movie house in Leonard, Texas, said that it was now called the Joy Theatre. The house had been closed for months before new owners Roy and Charles DeViney had bought and remodeled it. The DeViney brothers continued to operate their theater at Vernon, Texas, which was also called the Joy.

In 1916 Leonard had a theater called the Happy Hour, mentioned in the May 6 issue of Moving Picture World.
