Rex Theatre

On March 27, 1915, The Galveston Tribune reported the reopening of the remodeled former Casino Theatre as the Rex Theatre. Features were an absolutely fireproof operating room and a new rest room for ladies and children. The movie billed was James Gordon in “The Oath of a Viking”.

The Casino Theatre’s advertisements, along with the Vaudette Theatre and Leader Theatre, go back to 1910 in the Galveston Tribune as being under the management of Hulsey Theatres. Hulsey Theatres noted they had the exclusive rights to all Essanay films in Galveston. All three theatres were listed in American Motion Picture Directory 1914-1915, complete with addresses.
