This was my favorite theater back in the 40’s and is where most teens and preteens went on Saturdays. I was from Indiahoma and my buddy and I used to go the Franroy and meet girls from neighborbing towns such as Medicine Park. I remember one girl named Pameya W. from Mountain park (don’t know if it is spelled correctly or not)but never saw her again except for that one time. My dad managed an icecream store across the street for awhile and all the kids used to stop in for a popcycle, fudgecycle, etc, prior to the movie.
The Franroy isn’t visible on any fire insurance maps up until 1930 (last available year). It appears as though this theatre building replaced a hotel that once occupied the site.
At 6th & E the old Franroy Theatre stands proud, even with its pretty corner marquee ripped off.
Snyder had two other cinemas, the Cyclone and Gem.

Marquee is now gone, but it still looks like a cinema.
