The venue mentioned in the previous posting appears to be something called Crockett Cinemas 3, not the old moviehouse Crockett Theater, which is the subject of this thread.
Nice marquee shots.
Drove through Lawrenceburg this past Sunday and took this snap.

The Crockett Theatre opened its doors on September 13, 1950 with Robert Young in “And Baby Makes Three” (unknown if extras added), and was the replacement of the nearby Princess Theatre. During its golden days as a single-screener, the Crockett originally housed 1,265 seats. The Crockett closed as a movie theater in 1985 when manager Ken Nelson opened the nearby Crockett Cinemas 3 at the same time.
