Lived a few block away (early 60s), used to ride my bike there for cheap Saturday matinees. Saw some bizarre double-bills (Annie Hall/Gator) and premiers as well (It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World). Our junior-high PE teacher took tickets at the door when we were in high school- that was strange. It was a big theater- I don’t recall anything very remarkable about it architecturally. It was our neighborhood hangout and I was sorry to see it go.
Looks like I found it. It is now known as The Majestic, Eastland, TX.

I am a member of the Conservancy- I’ll check that out.
Thanks
PS: Here is a link to a couple of pictures.
