Its most likely that both the older Republic Theatre and the 1939-built Republic Theatre are separate theaters. The newer Republic Theatre’s building began construction in mid-May 1939 and opened on July 6, 1939 with “Blondie Meets The Boss” (unknown if extras added), featuring RCA Photophone sound.

The Republic Theatre closed on June 24, 1956 with “The Kentuckian” and “Battle Stations” (unknown if extras added, but an unnamed serial was presented the previous evening).
