Tackle HQ: 1942
July 1942. "Decatur, Alabama. War production center (Ingalls Shipbuilding Co.) on the Tennessee River." Acetate negative by Jack Delano, Office of War Information. View full size.
The theater is still there
But the rest of that corner has changed a bit.
2nd Ave NE and E Moulton Street
Below is the Street view today, looking north along 2nd Ave NE from the intersection at E Moulton. The Princess Theater is still there, at 112 2nd Ave NE, as is the small, two story building just this side of it. The building which housed Loyd's Drug Store is gone, replaced by new buildings containing two eateries and an architecture firm. In 1942 there was a barber shop on either side of the Princess, but none now.
Down Texas Way
The sixth film of Monogram's eight-film series "The Rough Riders" has U. S. Marshals Buck Roberts (Buck Jones) and Tim McCall (Tim McCoy) coming to a Texas town to visit their friend, U.S. Marshal Sandy Hopkins (Raymond Hatton), only to learn that he has disappeared, and is suspected of the murder of John Dodge (Jack Daley), owner of practically the whole town, except the hotel Sandy owns and runs when he isn't on an assignment as a Marshal.
The Princess Theater is Still There
Loyd's Drug Store is gone. You can get Mellow Mushrooms on your pizza instead.
July in Decatur
I hope that the Princess is air conditioned. From the bikes parked out front, I'm guessing Saturday afternoon, kids' matinee. "Down Texas Way" sounds like good matinee fare.
