Its primary owner was the Interstate theater chain, and the first movie shown was Pretty Baby. The theater is well known for its Mission/Spanish Revival facade and 70-foot stone tower. In 1990, a Dallas-based investment company acquired the theater for 1.85 million dollars, and the Maulsby trust purchased the building in 1991.
