The Dixie Theatre is the original Jewel Theatre (not Jewell) when it opened on December 8, 1932 with Bing Crosby in “The Big Broadcast” (unknown if extras added). It was renamed the Dixie Theatre on March 12, 1937.

The Dixie Theatre was destroyed by a fire (alongside the Boudreaux’s Cafe and Sportsman’s Bar) on February 24, 1953.
