Crim Theater - Kilgore,Texas - a photo on Flickriver

            The Crim Theater opened on June 21,1939 during the East Texas oil boom. The theater was air conditioned and showed first run movies. Construction costs were $150,000. Children could pay nine cents to spend the day watching cartoons,a news reel,a serial and two feature films. Television proved to be its demise and the Crim closed some time in the 1950s or 1960s and remains vacant. The facade was restored in 2015 and the neon sign is once again turned on nightly. Kilgore,Texas. 5.27.2015.
