It is located in Crab Orchard , Kentucky on Hwy. 39 , the main drag for the town. I was surprised to find that many famous entertainers had performed there including Loretta Lynn, the Osborne Brothers, the father of Bluegrass Bill Monroe, Conway Twitty, Homer Harrison and his trained horse, and Jerry Lee Lewis who stated on CMT that it was one of the roughest places he performed. The youngest act to perform in the theater was country singer John Michael Montgomery at the age of 5. He was booked in the theater by his father, Harold Montgomery. - KENNY BROWNING Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Kenny Browning, The Feedman The theater was built in the 1940s.

The movie equipment purchased at that time totaled $15,000. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2012-07-10 04:00:19 | Comments | Printable version
