The relaunch of the Elite Theatre in December 1953 was actually short-lived, closing as a movie house in 1955. The Elite Theatre became a church a short time later.

Sounds like the Elite reopened for a while.

Billboard, Jan. 2, 1954: “Col. H. A. Cole has closed his drive-in for the season at Bonham, Tex., but has reopened the Elie (sic?) after a remodeling program.”

Opened at 117 east Fifth with Death of a Champion and closed April 13, 1952 with Elephant Stampede . Demolished 60 years later
