February 18, 1942

The Community Theatre in Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), which was started as a community share-owner business, was bought by Victor Elbert Bonner and his son Charles, who had managed the theater for a number of years. The theater is notable because it is one of the oldest single-screen, nickelodeon-type theaters in Arkansas. It closed as a business in 1963, but the building was used as one of the locations for the Pine Bluff Film Festival.
