Based on old newspapers I strongly believe that this theater did not replace the two Cinemas at the mall but was in fact the same two theaters combined.
Also the San Jacinto mall and and wherever these were inside it, is now demolished.
This theater closed in June as part of the mall demolition, to be replaced with a new theater in the newly constructed shopping center: Baytown, TX: Premiere Cinemas – Baytown Premiere Cinema 11 Closes, New Theater Coming [Jul 1, 2019]
Was this theatre an entirely new build or did it make use of one of the existing cinemas?
This from Variety, November 7, 1956 about a Baytown theatre. Does anyone from Baytown remember what started it?
Massed Assault on Theatre!
“Some 500 teenagers, bent on revenge for a "raw deal”, ran amok here last Wednesday night (310, egg-and-feathering a theatre, barricading a city street and beating a policemen with a club.
The yelling gang – both boys and girls – commandeered a city dump truck, roused the town with a garbage can “tom-tom” dance, let air out of tires and damaged two city patrol cars.
The horde showed up at the Bay Theatre where the manager, H.E. Brunson, had frequently called police for aid against rowdy-ism, and threw dozens of eggs at the theatre front. Then the gang smeared feathers in the “omlet”."
