Apparently things have changed Address wise. Highway 80 does not appear to exist anymore and neither Google nor Historic Aerials like that address. Try 2521 TX-254 Loop Strawn, Texas, this maps right to the same spot.

Rapp opened the Ranger subsequent to operating the Tower in Ranger. It had a Western Town theme that was displayed under the screen. I have uploaded a photo of that. The area for the theatre was reportedly carved out of the side of Ranger Hill which was east of Ranger proper.

Rapp sold the Ranger when he retired in 1978.
