Opened with “Paradise, Hawaiian Style”.
This opened on July 8th, 1966. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
This theater brought back some amazing memories. Packing 7 kids, my mom & dad in a re-modeled postal truck. We had wooden bench seats and the back roll up door worked great! We bought our own food into the drive-in. It felt like a movie in the park and a picnic at night. Just down the road the best pizza ever, Shakey’s Pizza. Back in those days were the best!!!
There was an Motel directly behind it. I was situated there while I was signing in to Schofield. I watched the Godfather w/o sound uncountable times while I was billeted there in 1972
I’ve since learned that the Royal Sunset was owned by Royal Theaters (thus the name). Opened in 1969, closed in demolished in 1980, which sounds about right
