Grand Old Texas Theaters that Won’t Quit

(with photographs)
co-authored with Joan Upton Hall (see her listing also)

It takes a vintage theater with a strong personality to survive into the twenty-first century. Surprisingly some date as far back as 1886 and range across the state. Meet the personalities (living and deceased) who have contributed to these old show places. Discover facts and legends about the early days of each as well as the transitions that have given new life as a venue for either “picture shows” or the performing arts. Read of natural disasters, special effects, shootings, and mysteries. And there are ghosts…mostly  playful, yet you have to wonder.?
