I attended the Majestic often during my student years at Hardin-Simmons (1963-1967). At the time it was a “second-run” theater showing older films from recent years (The Manchurian Candidate, West Side Story) and also some lesser classics (Abbott and Costello). On at least two occasions, the management attempted to re-brand itself as an art house. I saw my first Fellini there (81/2, Juliet of the Spirits).
As of September2024, the Brownie Shop is still there. The marque also announces Country Dancing on Thursday nights.
