The Ervay Theater was opened in late-1946. In the mid-1970s the Ervay Theater stood painted over in one color. However a marquee sheltering the entrance was still visible along with a vertical form that had possibly been the location of the theater’s name. Also visible were where outside movie poster frames had been located on each side of the entrance.

Chuck, do you have any info on this theatre that might possibly identify it as having originally been the Encore Theatre?
Never mind – I just checked and the Encore was at 4519 Maple. What did it become?
Matt, from what I cound find the Encore was located at the address that you listed and it closed in the 1950’s, as to the accuracy of the information I can’t be positive. Couldn’t find a date that it was demolished but the site is now a parking lot adjacent to the Dallas Police Dept. substation.
Many thanks, Chuck!
