Early 20s photo added, credit UT Rio Grande Valley’s Special Collections, via the Traces Of Texas Facebook page. Note the Empire marquee is blank, but there are film posters outside of the entrance. Not knowing the years of operation, I would say the photo is more likely in the teens, given the automobiles. Which were more enclosed by the mid 20s.
