Ken – that early 1900’s interior photo you linked is from the Robert Runyon collection. It is the inside of the Dreamland which was to become Teatro Mexico in 1945.

The Queen Theater advertised consistently in the Brownsville Herald through the 1940s and up to December 1952, at which time the ads stopped.

This photo is also from the LOC, but it doesn’t identify the theater except to say it’s in Brownsville, unfortunately. We have three indoor theaters listed plus a drive-in. It doesn’t appear to fit with any of the three:

This early 50’s postcard of Brownsville, shows the Queen theater on the left side.

A 1942 photo from the Library of Congress of the exterior of the Queen can be seen here.
