Opened on September 20, 1941 with Constance Moore in “Hawaiian Nights” and Johnny Mack Brown in “Son Of Roaring Dan” along with the musical scopitone “Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar”.

The Joy Theatre closed in 1964, according to an article about the closing of the Joy Drive-In in 1981, which can be found on the web page I linked to in my previous comment.

There is a ca.1951 photo of the Joy Theatre on this web page, along with a few reminiscences by locals. The rest of the page is mostly about the Joy Drive-In.
