The original twin described in this 1968 trade article: Boxoffice
A rendering of the proposed Deux Cine, and a small photo of the groundbreaking for the project, appeared in Boxoffice of June 19, 1967. The new house for Corpus Christi Theatres was designed by architects Kipp & Winston.
The Corpus Christi Public Library has two photos of a model of the Deux Cine.
<<< Originally this theatre opened as the Dixie Cine Twin. >>>
This theater was never called Dixie. (Why would it have been? It was not located in the South.)
It was originally called the Deux Cine. “Deux” as in: French for two. As in: a twin cinema… get it?
Deux Cine was at 4900 S. Staples according to this grand opening announcement (Picture on page) of April 24th, 1968 at View link page 11
Here are some photos.
