Pix Theater

As a small child in the late forties, I spent every Saturday afternoon sitting in the PIX watching Roy Rogers and other Western Cowboys films and the Superman, etc., weekly serial episodes which ran as pre-movie shorts. It was a different time and at the other end of the block was the WALLACE which was the theater where Hispanic and Black films were projected usually on weekends during cotton harvesting months when seasonal workers were in the area.

Here are two photos from 1939 of the Pix during a promotion of the George Brent movie “Wings of the Navy”. A biplane with Wings of the Navy lettered on it had been flown in for the event and placed directly in front of the entrance to the theater.
