This theatre appears to have been abandoned for decades and information on it’s history is scarce. The exterior suggests it was built in the mid-1950’s.

NOW Showing at the Ewing theatre is “PATSY” nothing else but “PATSY” in the old newspaper ad and a picture of a dark headed lady,Don’t have a clue about the movie"PATSY" but it played Fri,Sat, and Sunday, Oct 23,24,25, 1964. ELVIS WAS NEXT,I think we all know him, in “G.I.BLUES”
You wonder if there were any one sheets in that theatre.I am afraid i would have got a flashlight and found an old rotten exit door and explore.I couldn’t just snap a picture.
Dec.16 1978 and the Ewing is playing “THE DEEP” long after a summer run.
May 1 1979 “ANIMAL HOUSE” hits Ewing and movies are never the same in this small town.
June 1 1979 and “SUPERMAN” opens.Kids under 5 free.“BUCK ROGERS ” is booked next.

Mike, from the looks of things, you wouldn’t have had to look hard to find something rotten in this old theater. There was a “NO TRESPASSING – VIOLATERS WILL BE PROSECUTED” sign on the door, and a lot of interior damage visible through the broken windows, so I’d say that enough vandalism has occurred to make this a serious threat.

I saw the Dino De Laurentis version of King Kong here in 1976. The inside was dank and the seating was uncomfortable.
