Perhaps the beginning of this house is addressed in this item from Moving Picture World of June 10, 1922: “ROY, NEW MEXICO— S. E. Paxton and M. Floersheim are interested in proposed theatre and community hall.”
Another mention of Roy appears in Film Daily for July 2, 1938: “W. J. Sturgess has bought the Real Theater in Roy, N. M., from H. H. Butler.”
The earliest theatre I see listed at Roy in the FDY is a 150-seat house called the Pendick, appearing in 1929, along with the High School. Part of a now-vanished Facebook post saying the house was owned by a man named Pendick and was renamed the Mesa Theatre after he moved to Albuquerque turns up in a Google search.
