This was a small theater in a plain row of small shops. It was great for showing first run films (I saw “A Hard Day’s Night” there and all the surf movies in the 1960’s). I met Jay Silverheels there. After it’s days as a theater it became a batting cage.

Still a batting cage. Dj’s Sports.

Here is a November 1971 ad for “Werewolves on Wheels” in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. It was a biker horror film, I guess.

I was the projectionist at the Village in 1971. I remember it well and believe I could still work the projectors after all this time.
A t-shirt company is at the Village location now. I bought some custom-made shirts there around 2002 and got to see the old auditorium. I was amazed at how small it was—I remembered it as so much bigger. But it had seats and a screen then, too. It was once a first-run theater showing roadshow films like “South Pacific,” “My Fair Lady” (for almost a year), and I think it even had “The Sound of Music” for an eternity! That tiny parking lot was NO fun though!
