This was a fairly plain theater, a block away and across the street from the Paramount Theatre, but much more modern. Opened in 1925. It was very run-down, even when I was a kid in the 1960’s.

Looking at Street View, it’s now a parking lot….
I read an article where the Majestic opened in 1925, also Lost Memory noted in his comment that a Wurlitzer Theatre Organ was installed in the Majestic Theatre on 7/18/25. The Majestic was operated by Texas Consolidated Theatres in 1931, later by Interstate Theatres (Paramount) and then by Trans-Texas Theatres.
