The Avenue was said to have closed January 2, 1977 due to code enforcement issues. The city essentially used eminent domain to condemn the property, order its demolition which was accompanied by a salvage sale. The property was used to make room for the Vieux Marché Mall / Shopping Center.
The Avenue Theatre was opened at 4 pm on Thursday Feburary 3, 1949. The opening picture was Paramount’s 1948 comedy “Miss Tatlock’s Millions” starring John Lund, Wanda Hendrix, Barry Fitzgerald and Monty Wooley.
The Avenue was orginally operated by the Meyer family, merchants in Biloxi, who also operated the Meyer and Harlem Theatres.
The Avenue Theatre was located at 211A West Howard Avenue in downtown Biloxi, MS.
