Thanks lostmemory. The Tiger was a drive in. The info that I dug up says it was located around 25th and College or the Colorado City highway. College turns into highway 84, connects with 208 and leads to Colorado City.
If anyone recalls Jennifer Jones a screen star from the past and one time wife of David O Selznik, it turns out that her father built the Tiger.
I recently received a nice email from the owner of the Rig. He gave me a little history and mentioned that the theater has been in the family for a long time. The best news is that he put a new roof on on the building in 2004.
Hello lostmemory and thanks for your comment! A reply to Seth’s posting of the TEXAS theater in Ballinger appears to indicate that there was at one time, two separate drive ins there. Also the lady I spoke with kept referring to what is currently the TEXAS, as the PALACE, which lead me to beleive she knew what she was talking about. I am always very reluctant to post a theater that I have not personally seen, photographed, touched, or seen evidence of, but felt like the HORSESHOE had indeed been in Ballinger.

Oops….the theater picture link posted by TC is not the Wills Point Majestic.
It looks like the Majestic in Eastland, Texas.
The link posted by lostmemory has the Wills Point Majestic.
Hopefully Tom Cruise will be sent the same message!!

The ultra-rich Dallasite, Ray Nasher, tore this theater down to make way for a Nordstroms department store.
In its last few years, among many other movies, it screened “GIANT” and “Gone with the Wind” and brought in some of the original cast members.
