And according to this link the current Alamo Theater has 524 seats.
Well, five minutes after my question, I came across another history description of the Alamo Theatre on another web site.

It States,,,
The first structure was located on Farish Street in the 100 block across from where McCoy Federal Building now stands. The second Alamo was located on West Amite Street at Roach Street. This newly renovated structure (the third) was built in the early 1940’s in this Farish Street Historic District.

Doing Family history research, I came across a cousin, Webb Stevens, WW I Draft Registration, dated June 5, 1917.
His occuption description on his draft card stated,
Motion Picture Operator,
Alamo Theatre, [no street address]
Jackson, Mississippi,
Employer: R A Bell.
The 1917 date on the draft card predates, by 25 years, the 1942 opening date described in the above history of the theatre.
It seems obvious there was another Alamo Theatre located in Jackson
prior to the Farish Street Alamo.
If so,
Does anyone know where it was located in Jackson?

Can anyone tell us the condition of this theatre in Jackson MS after Hurricane Katrina?
Here is a photo of the Alamo Theater.
Chuck: I figured it probably had been closed for some time yet it was sad to see it gone. It would be nice to see it included on CT though.
Patsy,that was more than likely the Bay Star Theatre in Bay St. Louis at 600 So. Beach Blvd. It had been closed for some time though.
Would love to see an interior photo of this art deco cinema in MS.
Charles: Great photo of the Alamo. I’ve been looking at the LA and MS CT theatres and wonder which ones, if any, survived? I don’t know the name of the theatre pictured on AOL news that ‘was’ in Bay St. Louis MS, but sadly the brick structure was leveled.
Patsy, I did some realigning in photobucket and lost the original link. Here is a corrected link.

Charles: I couldn’t bring up the above site. Also I noticed on an AOL window a photo of an old theatre that was demolished during Hurricane Katrina. It is in Bay St. Louis MS, but that theatre is not listed on CT.
