Name was derived from a combination of operators August Braums and Thomas Dawe Martin. For many years this was under the banner of the Thomas Theatre Group which purchased or operated more than a dozen theatres in Michigan. Was Braums a silent partner?
The Braumart was modernized in 1935 and twinned in 1982.
There are about a dozen pictures of the Braumart on the Iron Mountain-Dickinson County Genealogical Society site.
Brauns and Martin Dawe Thomas began an association in the early 20s. The Braunmart Theatre in Iron Mountain is a combination of their names. Thomas had been a manager for Fox and formed the Thomas Theatre Group in 1922. The Group purchased or operated more than a dozen theatres in Michigan. The Colonial is listed as part of that group. Was Brauns a silent partner?
In 1935 the Colonial and the Braunmart were modernized. The organ from the Colonial was sold to a Catholic church.
The Martin Group also included the Capitol Theatre in Iron Mountain which is, as of this date, not on Cinema Treasures.
I did a Google search of “Rockwall: Historical Photos-City of Rockwell.” There is a crawl on the home page including a burred photo of the Ritz. Since it was on the move I couldn’t capture it. Couldn’t find that image anywhere else.
Subsequent to opening the Tower Rapp opened the Ranger Drive-In in Loop Strawn. This has its own listing on Cinema Treasures. Rapp retired from the Drive-In in 1978. Presumably he was still operating the Tower at that time.
ridethetrain of the “open” theatres you mentioned only the Bellmore Playhouse is. The only other “indie” I found to be open in Nassau County is the Manhasset. The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center is just opening for selected films but not yet for live entertainment.
Theatre has yet to reopen after the Covid closing although the nearby Playhouse has. I find that interesting because there was an article quite some time back how they were outfitting the space with barriers to enable social distancing.
The theatre has reopened and the status should be changed. Unfortunately that is not yet the case for the Roslyn, Herricks, Squire, Soundview, North Shore Towers, Malverne, Bellmore Movies, Grand Avenue Cinemas or Franklin Square.
The Rex was located in the original Liberty which would place it in the 200s block of South Rusk. I have uploaded a photo of the original Liberty which was located next to the Masonic Hall.

Good. I wonder how many of the indies we’ll have lost due to the pandemic.
