Address is 2227 Avenue F, Bay City, TX 77414.
Was home to Real Life Church in 2013, and Rhema Fellowship Church at one time.
But neither seem to have an active internet presence anymore.
It appears the current Sunset Theatre is using the entrance of the building next door.
Below is a link to their official Facebook page, which shows the entrance and smaller marquee as their banner photo.

This theatre once stood at Kingsway and Marlborough.
This photo was taken shortly after it opened, which happened on August 4, 1937.
Within this link at the bottom of the page is great historical video footage of the theatre getting built and the theatre on opening day:

And here is a video clip of the theatre’s parking lot getting plowed after a snowfall in 1939:

Demolition on the auditorium has begun, broken through the wall on the North elevation.
Monday would be the next day to get photos, as they will likely finish off the auditorium then.
Contrary to what I previously mentioned, the facade will not be removed, numbered and replaced.
I originally thought that due to the 3 containers stacked in front of it.
Instead it will remain in place, anchored to those 3 containers via I beams for the duration of demolition and new construction.
I had thought of the removal & replacement scenario, because that is what was done to the Cedar Hotel on State Street at Cedar.
But that facade did not have landmark status.
It was just thankfully saved and reattached to the new structure behind it, to appease the neighborhood and alderman in the early discussions.
I have uploaded a few photos from today of the facade reinforcement and the broken through North elevation auditorium wall, as visible from North Avenue.
