Hello Patsy. The Liberty is one of the more difficult theaters I have ever photgraphed and my photo does not do it justice. It is about 2 ½-3 stories high sitting on a narrow two lane street. The only evidence of a marquee seems to be the dome shaped crack under the LIBERTY lettering. I have few more pictures that I will try to locate and post.

Have you checked thier website out? http://www.jeromelibertytheater.com/

At the time of his death Roy Starling owned the WHITE THEATER in Fort Worth, which later became the BERRY. He had sold the WINGS and TEXAN theaters in Grand Prairie to buy the White.

Photo of an unidentified group fo men holding a “Greater Monogram Pictures” 1933-1934 banner. Monogram Pictures was a successful movie production company founded in the 1930s. It eventually became Allied Pictures and ceased operation around 1974.

The man in the front row holding the right corner of the banner could possibly be Roy Starling.

With thanks to Jeannette for the photo.

A colorful post card rendetion of fourth avenue, the RIALTO and a LOEWS/UNITED ARTIST (now the Louisville Palace Theater).

A closer look at the Rialto marquee shows that “CAREFREE” with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire was playing.
