Onece they ran a Rudolph Valentino film. Some how they got hold of a nitrate print. The print caught fire and damaged the booth. I saw the damage. Not pretty.
The theater and the entire block was demolished – and replaced with a large luxury home completely out of place in my working-class neighborhood.
Here are photos from 1983 and 1984:

David Welling’s book “Cinema Houston” mentions the Al Ray and notes that the building has been demolished.
