Uploaded a 1944 photo of the Royal which also included photos of the owners and their daughters which I found on the Facebook site of the Opp Historical Society. Comment indicated the theatre was on Covington Avenue.

Correction: Its not “(later the Dixieland Drive-In)” because the city of Opp had 2 Drive-Ins, not a single one. So he actually worked with both Opp and Dixieland Drive-Ins. He closed the Opp Drive-In on April 27, 1964, exactly 3 days before the Dixieland Drive-In reopened for the 1964 season. The Dixieland Drive-In lasted a lot longer than the Opp Drive-In. As The Dixieland was closed during the Fall of 1983.
