Abstract:

George Washington Creef, Jr. opened the Pioneer Theatre in 1918 in a Manteo schoolhouse. When his son took over in 1934, he built a stand-alone theatre a few blocks away. The Pioneer is now run by a fourth generation. All tickets cost $5, and drinks and popcorn sell for $1.50. Only family-style movies are shown and nothing R-rated.
