This classified ad appeared in the December 21, 1917 issue of The Standard from Lykens, Pennsylvania: “FOR SALE- Moving Picture theatre and equipment including new building, Powers 6. A. much asbestos booth, 250 opera chairs, piano, complete electric lighting outfit, scenery, drums, all used very little, and will sacrifice. ROYAL THEATRE HALIFAX, PA. C. M. RICHTER”

Although the Royal Theater and Halifax are listed in the 1914-1915 AMPD, I haven’t found either mentioned in trade journals of the period, and neither appear in the 1926 or 1929 FDY’s.

Uploaded two early photos: one from 1913 and one from 1912 where the men outside are identified as performers.

Operated as early as 1915.
