The Liberty Theatre was advertised in the May 19, 1939 issue of the local newspaper. It had still been advertised as the American Theatre at least as late as March 26, 1937.

The American Theatre at Mexia was mentioned in the June 10, 1922 issue of Moving Picture World, along with some good advice:

“Lest You Forget

“The donkey stunt still works. Ray Stemmit, of the American Theatre, Mexia, Tex., used it lately to good advantage, the jack carrying a sign which read, ‘I am a jackass because I have not seen "Over the Hill.”’

“A better wording is, ‘I have not seen "Over the Hill,” but that’s because I’m a jackass.’“
