Grand opening ad posted. It closed in 1966.
The New Strand $100,00 Strand opened February 4, 1921. It replaced a previous Strand Theatre in town. This one was designed for motion pictures complete with a pipe organ.
The Strand was part of the Royal Theaters circuit in the early 1960s. President was A.L. Royal.
**correction….the Strand and the Arabian were actually two different theatres….they were just a couple blocks apart
**the Arabian opened in 1927 and the two were in competition for just a couple years before the owners of the Arabian bought the Strand as well
**the Strand was demolished in the late 1970s, the Arabian is now the home for the local community group Laurel Little Theatre
