The Stevens Theater had the classic inverted V-shaped marquee sheltering the entrance and outside ticket booth. Atop both sides of the red and neon trimmed marquee “Stevens” was spelled out in large red letters and neon.

The February 2, 1946, issue of Boxoffice reported that Robb and Rowley’s new Stevens Theatre had opened after months of delay. The new house was designated R&R’s first-run theater for the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. R&R also operated the Texas, Bison, Rosewin, Midway and Astor theaters in the area.
From the early-1980’s thru closing the Stevens was playing mostly Spanish Speaking movies.
The Stevens began playing Spanish-language movies in the late ‘60’s as this area became mostly Mexican-American. I was a projectionist here for a while in the early '70’s. This theatre was demolished in the '90’s replaced by new retail buildings.
Status should be changed to “Closed/Demolished” because it sure ain’t there no more.
