Boxoffice, June 16, 1951: “Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Shelton have sold the Monarch Theatre at Pritchett to Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bonewell of Kim, Colo. The Sheltons are understood to be going into the ranching business.”

Boxoffice, Sept. 13, 1952: “The Monarch Theatre, closed for three weeks, has reopened under new management. Floyd Kirkendall purchased the theatre from Howard Bonewell. His son, Bob Kirkendall, will assist his dad in the operation of the house.”

There is no “Pritchard” in Colorado, but the Motion Picture Herald was consistent in its misspelling. March 29, 1947: “Doyle Shelton to build theatre at Pritchard, Colo.”

April 26, 1947: “Doyle Shelton building 300-seat Monarch at Pritchard, Colo.”

June 28, 1947: “Doyle Shelton about ready to open new Monarch, 300-seater at Pritchard, Colo.”

Until finally, Nov. 15, 1947, “Doyle Shelton opens 300-seat Monarch, Pritchett, Colo.”

Needs streetview added to replace low-quality enlargement of a thumbnail we have now. Address of a business across the street is 264 Randolph St, so maybe 265-7?
