50sSNIPES commented about McKinney Drive-In on Dec 11, 2019 at 1:52 pm

The McKinney Drive-In Is Still In Operation As Late As September Of 1971, Along With The Ritz Theatre, In Which The Ritz Continued Its Operation Until December 29th, 1971. Since 1969, Both McKinney Drive-In And The Ritz Are Operated By The McKinney Theatre Company. The McKinney Drive-In Did Not Appear In The December 6th, 1971 Theater Line-Up On The Counter-Gazette, Only The Ritz Appeared In The Line-Up. So The Latest Update Might Be That The McKinney Drive-In Was Closed Sometime In The Fall Of 1971.

The Ritz Theatre Didn’t Open That Late In October 1928. According To Newspapers.com, It Opened On October 8th, 1928 With Our Dancing Daughters.

And According To The McKinney’s Courtier-Gazette, The Ritz And McKinney Drive-In Both Closed Separately In 1971. The Ritz Ended Up Shutting Its Doors On December 29th, 1971 With “Man In The Wilderness” Being Its Last Film.

50sSNIPES commented about Capitol Theatre on Dec 5, 2019 at 12:00 pm

Actually In 1973, The Capitol Still Ran American First-Run Films In English According To The Dispatch Of Moline, Illinois. At The Time, The Capitol In Davenport And The Parkway In Rock Island Both Played Showdown And The Reissue Of Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins At The Time. So I’m Not Sure If The Capitol Ran Spanish Films For A Very Short Amount Of Time Or Maybe They Started Running Spanish Films By The Mid-1970s.

I Will Find It Out Later On…

That’s The Closest Picture I Have Got So Far. I Cannot Find Anymore Lexington Mall Cinemas 1 & 2 Anywhere. So I Guess That I Have No Choice But To Add This Snipe In Here. Also Look At The Address. See The Bolded Avenir Text Reading “New Circle,” It Is Location On New Circle As Well.
