The Aztec Theatre was operating prior to 1941, and continued until at least 1950. For a small theatre the Aztec Theatre was quite ornate with a sculptured ceiling, molded wall panels, heavy stage drapes, and thick carpet running down its one and only isle.
Please include here anything you know about the Aztec.

Take a look at 166 S. Wilson to see what the Aztec Theatre is like today, now Coats Appliances. Can’t tell if across the street the State Theatre has a new facade, or if that is a new building.

The Aztec Theatre interior may have gone baroque, but the exterior was pure Southwestern. Another 30s view can be seen on above post by entering “wilson street looking north”.
From fire insurance maps, I believe the address is 144 S. Wilson. Coats is at 142 S. Wilson, so this address would seem to match up. The theatre shows up on maps as early as 1925.
