The Rose Theatre opened in 1947. A theatrical façade was later added to this Quonset Hut style building. The property was renovated in 1955 including upgraded sound and air conditioning and a CinemaScope screen. The theatre closed in September 1957 and was used as an Army surplus store. After standing idle it was razed to become a parking lot.

I’ve uploaded a photo of the Rose and also a page from the August 31, 1950 Opelousas Daily World on which there are ads for all the theatres in town operating at that time.
The actual opening date is February 5, 1947 with “Tell The Clouds Roll By”.
