An early 1946 photo of the Wallace Theater in Andrews showing “The Big Sleep” starring Humphrey Bogart.
A late 1946 photo probably in December of the Wallace in Andrews. The “The Yearling” was showing with Gregory Peck. A new business the Texas Electric Service company had been joined to the Wallace building and the Corner Drug Store had done some updating.
An August 1955 photo taken inside the projection booth of the Wallace Theater.
Great 1955 booth photo Don.
The Smell Of Carbons,The Dirty Hands.
This one was at 202 N. Main. The theater’s gone, but the old drug store next door is still standing.
The angled front door is what gives it away.
Opened on May 20, 1937 with “Venus Makes Trouble” (unknown if short subjects were added).
