Russell & Estella McClanahan and Max Goldberg launched the New Irvine Theatre on March 29, 1939 with “Tailspin Tommy.” The McClanahans would take over the Estill Theatre at a commissioner’s auction late in 1951 renaming it as the Mack Theatre. They would in 1955 operating three theaters. The Irvine operated year-round, the Mack Drive-In in the summer months, and the Mack when the Drive-In was closed. The venue was still advertising as the New Irvine Theatre in 1992.
