Operated by International Amusement Company, this was another Spanish language theater in town. It was the only one with a $7,000 Wurlitzer pipe organ. When the Pershing was built, it appears the Rex Theatre may have been the odd theater out in 1940. It became home to the PanAmerican Optimist Club Gymnasium.
Opened December 9th, 1916.
