According to the Texas State Historical Association, in 1915 Sam Schwartz built the Aztec Theater in Eagle Pass. The Aztec Theater closed around 1982. Photos of the Aztec theater can be seen here.
Thanks Lost Memory, I was going to add a link to that page myself but you beat me to it.
Your welcome. Here is the link to the Texas State Historical Association page that mentions this theater.

I lived in this theater. My father was the film projectionist for 22 years. I remember Sam and Arnold smoking cigars in their office.
We used to get in for free. I saw just about every movie from 1970 to 1980. It started with a cartoon, then the previews of coming attractions and then the movie.
I worked the projectors for about two weeks. I can still remember the dots on the right hand corner of the film. I remember splicing the coming attractions together.
Reviewing the film, installing the next reel. The carbon rods, then the arc.
saw alot, learned alot.
Miss you Dad
