According to this article View link this theater apparently will be reopening only as a restaurant; there is no mention of continued cinema use. It also seems that the current marquee will be removed so as to install a new one that will be a platform for al fresco dining.
This is a photo from earlier this year, looks like it will be opening May 2010.

Here’s a photo (circa 1950) I found in a book about shopping center design — View link
anyone know who purchased the theater or will be taking over the lease? the printed sign out front says “re-opening 2010”
This closed in August

This was the theatre that premiered Zyzzyx Road, the lowest grossing film of all-time ($20 total in six days of release).
This is a 1983 photo.
Great theater, even after they turned the balcony into a second theater….not anywhere the same after it was split into a four screen. Terrible parking.
This was once a great theater. I saw Gallipoli, Reds, Against All Odds and Temple of Doom. This was the first theater I remember seeing the platter projection system, since you could see the downstairs projection booth as it was glassed in on the back and sides I believe.
2 night shots of the theatre nice neon!

Here are some recent photos of the Highland Park Village Theatre. Tragically the interior has been gutted with what was once the main floor split up into retail space and the balcony reduced to four rather bland cinemas.
Here is a photo of the Village theater.
How much, if any, of the original auditorium remains after it was split into four screens?
In my years in Dallas(73-79)I went to the movies atleast once a week.This theater was a favorite.Shop at the little Niemans that used to be there next door,and grab a balcony seat for me and my honey.Alas,that didn’t last,as they multi-screened it.Atleast it’s still there.Dallas had a lot of nice BIG suburban theaters.This one was nicer than most.Sewell Vilage Caddy was right across the street.
This theatre was known as the Village Theatre when it first opened in 1935. At that time it had seating for 1350 patrons.
