From the 1920s in Borger a very busy street that captured a view of the Rex Theater sign.

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.

They would have gotten a bang out of the movie, I guess.

At least that tells us that the Rex was around in 1932. I hope nobody was in the theater when the dynamite exploded.
