The Alamo was opened by Henry Fichtenburg of New Orleans movie theatre fame. Mayor Hayes gave the opening speech on Nov. 30, 1911. Bernard Mulligan, the first multi-theater operator became its operator in 1914 and he installed a new screen and an Austin pipe organ in 1914 to improve presentations.

Mulligan had operated the Theatorium, a nickelodeon at 207 South Washington in 1907 followed by the NoSho and Lyric Theatre. Another Louisiana interest came into the marketplace opening the NuSho.
