Booker-T Theatre

Closed for a streamline moderne refresh in 1946 and came back with that new look on April 13, 1946. The last show listed is January 29, 1956 with a double feature of “The Human Jungle” and “Overland Pacific.” That times out with a ten-year leasing expiry. It became the Regal Furniture Store in 1957. Its neighbor, the Booker T Grill continued into the 1990s as part of the Farish Street Historic District well after the theatre closed.

Jerry Dallas’s Movie Theaters in Twentieth-Century Jackson, Mississippi says that the Booker-T Theatre was in a new brick building erected on the site of the first Alamo Theatre.
