This theater closed long ago and operated in the thirties. I believe it closed in the late Thirties/early Forties. It was converted to a furniture store and operated as Norman's furniture until sometime after 2000. The original balcony etc. can still be seen.

The strange thing about this theater is patrons entered from the rear such that the screen was on the street side of the structure. This theater almost backs up to the Long's theater just down the block and both are just down from the Capitan theater which is currently undergoing renovation and restoration.

The address listed for Norman's Furniture is:
101 Shaver St
Pasadena, TX 77506

The only problem is, it doesn't specify if it is north or south Shaver St. Yahoo maps and Mapquest both map this address as North Shaver St but Google maps will ask for the direction.

This is not the only reverse theatre in the country. Interestingly, there's another one in the original Pasadena, as well: Pasadena, California.

In 1950 the Pasadena Theater had 602 seats.

Correction to my last comment, opened in 1935 as the Rita Theatre. Header should have an AKA Rita and the Street changed to N. Shaver St.
