Alamo Theater

Baytown, TX

Unfavorite No one has favorited this theater yet

The Alamo Theater was listed as operating prior to 1941 and was part of the Paramount Pictures Inc. operated by their subsidiary Julius Gordon. The theater was actually located in Pelly into the early-1950’s. That city no longer exists as it was incorporated into Baytown around that same time frame.

The Alamo Theater was part of the Jefferson Amusement Co. and East Texas Theaters chain in 1948.

From one of my favorite websites here in Texas, the story of Pelly:

I would have figured Pelly was gobbled up by Baytown, but it was the other way around!

Opened in 1939 with seating listed at 544. Closed in 1965. Was located on W. Main.

Sam, after all those years of struggling to keep the name of Pelly, I wonder why they decided to go with the name of Baytown.
