Its Actual Grand Opening Date Is July 18th, 1953. The Winona Drive-In Theatre Is Located A Few Blocks Away From Hoover’s Feed, Farm, And Seed Store And Was Advertised On Its Grand Opening. I Can’t Find The Opening Attraction.

According To The Frankfort Index, I Can Find Listings At Dated Throughout The 1960’s In Which In 1965, The Royal Theatre I Believe Didn’t Demonstrate Mainly Movies In The First Place, But Maybe Was Used For Special Events Only. The Royal Theatre Ended Up Closing In 1970. 8 Years Later On April 12th, 1978, Mr. Kennedy And Mrs. Paul Opened Back Up The Royal Theatre As An Antique Shop Called “Royal Antiques”.
