Haltom City’s new theater, The Haltom Theater, was opened at 6 p. m. Saturday, December 27, 1941. The $35,000 theater was built by G. W. Haltom, who was unable to attend the opening. A view of the theater front at night is pictured here. A vertical sign showing the name of this new theater ‘Haltom’. The marquee has the following listed: Charleys Aunt, Jack Benny, Kay Francis. Men, women and children are lined up to the ticket booth. Two parked vehicles are in the foreground. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, December 28, 1941.

They are working on the old Haltom Theater trying to get ready for some sort of show in December. They need pics of it when it was in use as a theater, the older the better. Need pics of how it looked inside and out. So if anyone has any pics let me know.

Hello MissRandi.The Haltom is now being used as a furniture store. They recently invited me in to look around and I am happy to say the building and Haltom sign remain in great shape.

I used to frequent this place in 1989 as it was a video rental store. I moved away and went back in 1993 only to see it closed. I knew it had been a movie theater once and I was friendly with the staff so I’m wondering why I never asked to walk around the theater part.
