The Tower opened early in WWII and was the last movie theatre to be built in downtown Wichita Falls. It was one of three to have a balcony.

An independent house, it had difficulty competing with the Interstate houses southeast of it. By 1960 it was the sole remaining theatre on its deteriorating block and often resorted to exploitation and low-budget horror fare.

In 1950 I would take a Bus to the Tower Movie Theatre Saturdays. Mother would give me 25 cents. The Bus cost 5 cents each way. The price of the Movie was 10 cents and I would get a candy bar with the other 5 cents. I was 12 years old.
