The Medallion Theatre was a one screen large theatre until sometime in the 1980’s, when it was cut into five screens. It closed sometime later.

The Dallas Public Library’s Interstate Theatres Collection includes four sheets of plans for the Medallion Theatre in Dallas, by architect Jack H. Morgan. They are dated October 24, 1968, so construction probably began not long after that date.
A photo I took of the Medallion Theatre back in January of 2005. A KOHL’s occupies the lot today.. Enjoy..

Described in this 1970 trade article: Boxoffice
Well, we can add a seating capacity of 884 at it’s opening in 1969, courtesy of Tinseltoes' Boxoffice article link. Thanks for posting, I had not seen the auditorium since the late 70’s.
I saw “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” there about 1969. It is now a Kohls department store.
Randy, thanks for all your photos, they are always so concise and clear. You need to take all those you have on Flickr and post them to Cinema Treasures.
Chuck1231 – U are more than welcome. I’m getting ready to download some photos on here. Gonna try for tomorrow night… Also, My apologies for not responding sooner. I used to get emails, I thought, when someone posted a comment on a Theatre that I had posted on.. But not anymore.. A little while back, I had ask u about a book u reference from. Old Theatres of Texas.. or something like that. Is this still available? I’ve looked with no luck. I’d love to get a copy of it…. Thank you again for the compliments. They’re always appreciated to the fullest…… My Best……. Randy RAC Photography
Correction, the book is called “The Old Movie Theatres of Texas”….. 8)

This theatre had a run of 30+ years…not too shabby when you think about it.
