The theater went from deluxe house to three boxes called “studios” in 1975. But that move saved the theater not long thereafter allowing it to have an auditorium for Blaxploitation and an auditorium for porno chic adult films. The latter were winners for the Loews which held on downtown for another three years. Under independent run, the Studio Triplex would be one of the most memorable grindhouses in Dallas' exhibition history playing double features of exploitation films and scheduling in such a way as to allow un unscrupulous patron to pay $2 and sneaking around to see five or all six films playing.
