JohnnyC: They weren’t in operation at the same time. The claim on our page for the Melba Performing Arts Center that the New Melba Theatre which opened in 1938 was a rebuild of the old Melba is mistaken. The New Melba was on a different site. The June 9, 1938, issue of the Houston Herald featured an ad for a furniture store “…located in the old Melba Theatre Building.”

A good rule of thumb to follow at Cinema Treasures is that if dallasmovietheatres makes a claim that contradicts an earlier claim made somewhere on the site, it is probably the earlier claim that is wrong.

How could two theatres be in operation on November 19, 1931 with the same name of Melba theatre?
