A.L. Royal ran this theater as well as several others in Mississippi, most of them named Royal, as part of his eponymous circuit in the early 1960s.
This drive-in was still listed in the 1967 IMPA.
This is a 1943 photo. It looks like the marquee was reworked in the ten years before the photo immediately above. http://tinyurl.com/4n3ooh

So there were two theaters in Trona in the 1950s? Seems like kind of a small town for that. This article mentions a theater in 1948: http://www.trona-ca.com/1948.htm
Here is an undated photo of the restaurant: http://tinyurl.com/4g7pya
Here is another photo, circa 1940s: http://tinyurl.com/4n8axz
Here are two photos from www.virtualmuseum.ca The Trail Opera House/Liberty is clearly a different theater. The second photo, which is the Liberty/Strand, was taken sometime between 1940 and 1950. http://tinyurl.com/52sxn5 http://tinyurl.com/4qtjhw

I posted the story, but then it changed screens to say I had to log in to return. Does it show the story when you click on the link?
That’s cute. Anyway, the story says a real estate developer wants to turn the property into a retail center.
The De Anza may be doomed, according to this May 2008 article from the Arizona Daily Star: http://www.azstarnet.com/business/239096
The Rebel was still open in 1981, according to the motion picture almanac of that year. Owner at that time was T.E. Watson.
Landmark is listed as running the theater in the 1981 Motion Picture Almanac, so sometime between 1970 and 1980, I imagine.
