A brief article about the opening of the Leo Theatre appeared in the February 21, 1948 issue of Boxoffice it said that the new, 540-seat house was a replacement for a theater that had burned a year previously. The Leo was a partnership of Joy Houck and local exhibitors C. C. and Leo Bounds, L. O. Powers, and Frank G. Mullin. The Leo Theatre was dismantled around 1961 and the building converted for use as part of an adjacent bank.
Incidentally, the Texas-Arkansas state line runs right through the middle of downtown Texarkana, at an angle that doesn’t align with the street grid, so some buildings are partly in both states. However, the Google map shows that 217 Pine Street is entirely in the state of Texas, not Arkansas, which may be why Apple is not fetching a map for this page.
