During the 1930’s thru the early-1940’s this theatre was operated by Hall Theatres.

Interesting photo with the black night sky, the brightly lighted new marquee and the boarded up door…next door somewhere in Texas!

A fine restoration job was done on the marquee, but to remove the ticket kios was a major blunder,imo.

Now see the restored marquee, but no restored ticket kios thanks to Lost Memory’s posted photo of December 28, 2007.

On the Don Lewis post of 4/8/09 Seth Gaines mentions beneath a photo that the marquee has been restored, but the ticket kios was destroyed!?!

This theatre seen in the 1984 photo was once a cute theatre with ticket kios, vertical marquee and what appears to be a vitrolite exterior. What’s the latest on this one?

If you compare the photo posted on ¼/05 with this photo, there does appear to be some renovation going on:

Seth, you must have a more up to date photo than the one that lostmemory’s link takes you to and the one that I have from 2000. Ours still shows the free standing ticket booth, even though it seems to be ready to fall apart anyway.

This theater received a grant from the Texas Historical Commission for $15,000.00, I beleive, to replace the roof. Is the ticket booth not hidden behind the french doors?
