Down but not out, according to the LA Times in this story dated 8/14/32:
BLAST WRECKS THEATER
Borger (Tex) Aug.13 – A dynamite blast wrecked the interior of the Rex Theater here early today, causing damage estimated at more than $5,000.
At least that tells us that the Rex was around in 1932. I hope nobody was in the theater when the dynamite exploded.
They would have gotten a bang out of the movie, I guess.

Nice vintage photo Don.Also Don if you see this post, a photo you posted on the TEXAN THEATRE with unknown people I believe that the man on the right was “TEX RITTER” singer and movie star,also John Ritters father.
Thanks for your comments tisloews. I think you are on to something with Tex Ritter. I am waiting to hear from friend about the photo.
Good catch tisloews! That is indeed Tex Ritter in front of Houston’s Texan Theater.
I thought it looked like him Don, and the “TEX” and TEXAN THEATRE conection there.
