The small Pix Theater in Seagraves was located on a sandy downtown dirt street and was probably built in the early-1930’s. It had the familiar inverted V-shaped marquee sheltering the entrance and outside ticket booth. Atop both sides of the marquee “Pix” was spelled out and highlighted with neon.

Here are two photos from 1939 of the Pix during a promotion of the George Brent movie “Wings of the Navy”. A biplane with Wings of the Navy lettered on it had been flown in for the event and placed directly in front of the entrance to the theater.

From 1949 a photo of the Pix Theater in Seagraves.
As a small child in the late forties, I spent every Saturday afternoon sitting in the PIX watching Roy Rogers and other Western Cowboys films and the Superman, etc., weekly serial episodes which ran as pre-movie shorts. It was a different time and at the other end of the block was the WALLACE which was the theater where Hispanic and Black films were projected usually on weekends during cotton harvesting months when seasonal workers were in the area.
