Royal Theatre was built by Charlie J. Williams. Per his great grandson James E. Williams, stars such as Tex Ritter, Lash Larue, The Lone Ranger & Tonto and others made personal appearances with their horses. King Kong also had a promotion there. Tex Ritter apparently had his guns stolen while in town, and vowed never to return to Paintsville.
