Eduardo Rowley managed theaters with H. B. Robb in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The theater partnership, called the Arkansas Amusement Corporation, was formed in 1927 as a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. Arkansas Amusement Corp. became a subsidiary of Robb and Rowley United Theatres in the 1940s. Around 1951 it became Rowley United Theatres. Around 1972 the company was purchased outright by United Artists Theatres.
Rowley was known as a fierce opponent of the blue law against showing films on Sunday.
