1,000 seats for such a small town, even with a lot of tourist traffic, seems pretty ridiculous. Maybe they came to their senses.

The October 19, 1945 issue of Film Daily carried a notice saying “[a] new 1,000-seat house is going up in Horse Cave, Ky. It’s the project of Marion Caldwell, exhibitor who operates outlets in Cave City, Scottsville and Manford, Ky.” Was this project carried out? I’ve been unable to find any later mentions of it. Building materials were restricted for several years after the war, and a drive-in was built at Horse Cave in 1950, so maybe the promoters gave up on the indoor project and opted for a new-fangled outdoor theater instead.

The November 9, 1957 issue of Boxoffice said that the Strand Theatre at Horse Cave, Kentucky had been closed.

Should have a picture of this, but I skipped the entire block either by accident or because the morning sun was bad.
