The Sigal Theatre was opened in 1906 and was one of three theatres that were located on Market Street in Baird. The Sigal Theatre was the smallest of the three seating a little over 200. It was a white front single story building. It closed in 1945. It seems like theatres and antique stores must go arm in arm in Baird, this is one of two theatres that has been turned into an antique store.

The Film Daily of January 3, 1928, said that the Signal Theatre in Baird, Texas, was being remodeled and enlarged at a cost of $7,000.
The Sigal Theatre was built and opened in 1906 with Mike and Marie Sigal as the owners and operators. Mike Sigal ran the projector and his wife, Marie took tickets and sold concessions from her booth. After his wife’s death in 1936, the theatre was leased for a time. The old Sigal Theatre closed after the death of Mike Sigal in 1945. The building was abandoned and then purchased by new owners Ace Hickman, B.H. Freeland, and H.D. Driskell who had previously announced in 1947 the building would be remodeled and used as a theatre. Plans changed and the building was leased to the government for five years to be used as a Veterans Vocational School shop. The theatre never opened again.
