The Arlyne Theater had a unique architectural feature, that being a decorative 2/3 circular type design on the entire front of the building. There was a marquee at the bottom of this that sheltered the entrance and ticket booth. Attached front and center over the marquee was a tall vertical sign with block lettering spelling out “Arlyne”.

The Arlyn Theatre opened in 1939 and closed in the mid-1970’s.
The Arlyne Theater site was located across Methvin street from what is now Heritage Plaza. It has been demolished and is now a parking lot.
The ownership of the Arlyne brought in interesting films in the late 60s, such as Blowup, The Graduate, A Man for All Seasons, Bonnie and Clyde and In the Heat of the Night. All strong stuff for East Texas.
