My family moved into the neighborhood near the theater in 1937 when I was 5 and I went to the Saturday matinee faithfully.
It was always a treat as it was one of the few building that were air conditioned in San Antonio and it meant an afternoon of relief from the heat.The entrance was through a cylindrical tower done in Spanish style as the picture shows.
I wish there were some pictures of the foyer as in the center was a circular fountain stocked with goldfish. There was glazed tile throughout the foyer and it was always a lift to enter and feel the coolness and hear the gurgle of the fountain.
